Pluspunten
Experience in urban/utility Forestry. Relationships with customers, clients, tree crews will last over time. Job can be enjoyable and productive if there is no one "supervising" aka micromanaging for the utility in your region.
Minpunten
Company can turn against you and act as if they are employees of the utility. They will only interact/react with you when something goes wrong in eyes of the utility; otherwise they have no reason to talk to you until they let you go when not needed. You are a disposable employee. After working there several years you will still be excommunicated with no reason given. Lip service to safety vs. practicing it. Local area safety mangers rush around with broken down equipment. Any incidents that happen will be blamed on you as an individual by the company vs. it being a part of running a business. Interacting with customers, clients, tree crews is discouraged passive aggressively by the company despite their claim that customer service is "what they do". No room for growth of career; 99.9% of time is spent on production and filling out the same form over and ovet. So called "training" is worthless; they have another employee ride along with you as you do your job so they can get more money from the utility but not actually invest in you as a person and build up your resume. People at this company across the board have no time for you. There is no comraderie or team building. The vibe at the company is one of anxiety, insecurity, faithlessness, rushing, and "jump when the client says jump". Very superficially reactive to clients latest concerns; no long term adressing of actual client problems, so they keep reoccurring.
