The Meat Grinder - Anonymous employee SavATree Employee Review

The training isn't really training; if you are interested in being berated, threatened, and insulted by your sales manager (when and if he/she is around that month) then this is the place for you. Allow all your hopes, dreams, and aspirations to get crushed by local, middle, and upper management on a daily, day in day out battle for little to no $ money. The best kick to the jewels is the "black out days" of vacation; March to September no one can take vacation, unless you own the company (yachting in France, drinking expensive wine), you are a manager (snorkeling in the Keys and bragging), or a favorite lead arborist (two weeks vacation in a different country) The treatment: let's just say dogs at the aspca get better treatment. No office support, the administrative assistants, and the field crews all feel that you work for them, a lot of Chiefs and not enough Indians. There are ten line managers for every little thing here. You go out on sales calls with your part time manager, they complain you didn't pitch all 6 service lines to a potential client, then on the next one you pitch All service lines and then they yell "you are not listening to the client's concerns, it's a constant changing expectation. don't work here longer than 2 years. It's for first year out of college kids that aren't prepared to get smoked by this backwards company. This place at times is offensive, insulting, and is a real HR department's nightmare. They also lower your pay if they want at any time.
