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.

Pros

The field work itself is interesting for those with a background in forestry Working outside on beautiful properties with clients who love their yards and the work you do is refreshing. Some employees may clock 8 hours and be out and home by noon. Plant health care specialist get to work on tree crews in the winter.

Cons

The vibe here isn't great. Some people are pushed through certifications and its just not safe. They're all about profit, even if it means wasting money and resources for a quick buck. Not enough safety gear – I was told to use the same gloves for pesticides for a whole month! Equipment never works, and they expect us to fix everything. Not enough work or chances to grow. Nobody seems to care. Management's communication is all over the place and often unprofessional. There's no support either. New hires are just left to figure things out,
