Decent but could improve

Pros

free gear, lots of training and opportunity to advance yourself. Depending on the location of your office, plenty of overtime and weekend work if you need it. Decent benefits and mostly new equipment and tools to work with. One of the safest companies in the industry, you will learn to be safe and want to show others that they are doing it wrong

Cons

This can vary depending on your office, I work at one of the larger offices and the HR department in terrible. Hard to get anything done and if you need something good luck getting it on the first visit to the office. I have worked for several small offices during storm emergencies that wanted to help and were more friendly. Promotions are not based off of performance but checklists and paper work. Management never seems to remember that you helped them out on a difficult job or worked a 15 hour day for them when it comes to reviewing your wage. Management does not value you as an asset but rather a strong back that will complete jobs in the amount of time they need you to. Jobs can be underbid and never seem to come out and this reflects badly on you.

Pros

I've worked at BTE for over 30 years. It's the best company to work for and I would and do recommend it for anyone who is interested in a green career. It's the most advanced arboriculture based company in the world.

Cons

Challenges are if you're not well organized and self motivated this job will not work for you. You need to open to ideas that have been proven and not try and buck the system. For newly hired arborist working in the field if you don't agree that safety is above all else you shouldn't work here. Safety is a culture that you must be part of at every level.

Good pay and year-round work, but not a place to practice quality arboriculture.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, enjoyable production staff to work with, year-round work available. Good opportunities for training and company growth at some offices, but not at the Long Island offices (other offices are much better). The benefits are okay, but nothing great. Sales reps can get sucked into the corporate greed frame of mind and stop caring about clients/production staff.

Cons

Corporate greed is a driving force in providing unethical services to the clients. Most of the tree spraying or fertilization jobs are under priced so that the company can sell volume. You don't have time to do a quality job and you are pressured to finish a job quickly to maintain a high rate of return per hour so that the sales reps don't lose their commission. (ie- deep root fertilize all trees and shrubs on a 1 acre estate that is fully landscaped in 30 minutes). The client always loses!!! Most clients have no idea they are being ripped off. The tree pruning is horrible. The pruning crews are mostly under trained latino workers that never prune a tree according to ANSI standards.
