Pros

Out of most big commercial tree companies, they're one of the better to work for. Unfortunately, that's not saying much. If overtime is your thing, and you live to do tree work, this might be your thing. If not, stay away.

Cons

Horrible working conditions are common and customers give very little appreciation even on the most professional job done or difficult working scenario. There's a very poor wage, and many of the people drawn to this field are rejects from any other profession. In addition, you'll find yourself competing with other tree companies, the kind most would call 'hacks.' Not only that, but people will assume you're one of them. Advancement opportunities are very limited, and unless you squeeze your way into a sales rep or corporate position, you'll end up working as a foreman for the rest of your life. Do you want to be stuck cutting down, trimming, and hauling trees until you're 65? If you even make it that far in this field without a serious injury knocking you out of this line of work, consider that winning the lottery.

Pros

When it comes to tree care, Bartlett is really as good as it gets. Arbor representatives want the best for their clients and won't sell them something they don't need. Safety is the highest priority, which I really appreciate because the work can be dangerous. I like being trained both as a spray tech and as a tree crew worker so that the work is varied, different every day. Employees care about the quality of their work and the clients notice. Lots of training opportunities available. Offices are international and it is relatively easy to transfer within the company.

Cons

Not very many opportunities to get promoted, unless you want to be a sales rep. Hours can be long and unpredictable due to busy seasons and weather. Pest "management" is sometimes more like pest "control" because sprays are rarely timed effectively and biological control is virtually absent. Also, every office is different so your experience depends highly on attitudes of the people currently working at the office.
