Miserable place to work

Pros

commute and that is about it

Cons

Too many to list but mainly the overall attitude, culture and atmosphere of the company. People become cold and bitter after working here for about 6 months which seems to be a learned behavior from the top down. Management is able to pull the wool over people's eyes for a few months and then people start to realize that it is a miserable place to work. You have to prove yourself worthy of working there from the start and you are made to feel that you are replaceable. Don't expect to hear praises for a job well done but do expect that you will hear it when you mess up. I heard that people were specifically asked to write good reviews on here so don't believe what you read.

The Meat Grinder

Pros

The company and its ways of operations will harden your soul. This place will help you build tough skin, similar to sand paper. You go in whole and get shoved through the system and by the end you feel a piece of you has been taken away (meat grinder). A good place to do a working try out as an arborist/sales person. Some perks; they help you build your credit score by helping pay for a car you purchase for them, cell, laptop (usually from the last person that quit or got fired). This company will test your health and well being, you may actually age while here 5x faster than usual.

Cons

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.

Pros

The people make it a great place to work and that is about it.

Cons

Not much room for growth. After you learn your job dont expect much else. You will be told about advancement and opportunities but dont hold your breath. Most people get frustrated and leave for other companies. Management does not have trust of employees. They are concerned with themselves and if you "complain" you will be on their radar so dont bother. Just keep your head down mouth shut and do your work. This is not the place to build a career so take it for what it is. We are all replaceable and people are coming and going all the time and i do mean all the time.
