      Pros

      Fair salary, better then average benefits, able to work unlimited hours with possible extra compensation, good after the fact training,

      Cons

      always someones fault, find the root cause of any challenge or missed key performance indicator and teach someone a lesson, A scared worker is a better worker, better work half you day and cover your but the other half, as the blame game will start and hope it someone else this week

      Only job in town

      Planning forester
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The only job in town for foresters, close to home, some good people, salaries are competitive.

      Cons

      low-cost corporate culture, intense competition for positions, expected to be on-call all the time, hire a specific type of personell that obeys orders and follows procedures, not honest about career paths and possibilities, string part-time employees along with the promise of full-time positions.
