Pros

Quality people who have stuck around through recent hardship. The current employees embody the values of hard work and dedication to the mission. Unique offerings - not many other operators can provide the full spectrum of aircraft capabilities, manufacturing, and support that Erickson can. This leads to loyal customers and constant interest by companies to partner with Erickson.

Cons

The organization continues to undergo a transformative phase. Change is always hard on employees and the amount of change that has occurred recently has created a lack of unity and clarity throughout the organization.
