Not easy - General Foreman SavATree Employee Review

Thank you for your detailed and candid feedback, and for your long standing service to SavATree. It is clear that you take great pride in your craft, and we appreciate the drive, expertise, and commitment you bring to the role. We are glad to hear that you value the atmosphere, training opportunities, community, flexibility, and the unique nature of the work. These elements are foundational to creating a strong employee experience in such a specialized and demanding field. We also hear your concerns regarding starting pay for experienced arborists and the broader compensation expectations for skilled climbing work. Your perspective reflects what many across the industry feel. This is highly technical, physically demanding, and safety critical work, and compensation should reflect that reality. We continue to evaluate pay practices, credential incentives, and market alignment to ensure we are competitive and responsive to the needs of our most experienced field professionals. Your advice on retention is well taken. Investing in proven, high performing climbers is far more effective than repeatedly training new staff. Your feedback supports the work we are doing to strengthen career pathways, recognize skill progression, and evaluate pay structures that reward expertise more consistently. We appreciate your voice, your commitment, and the impact you make on your team and the broader organization. Your input helps guide meaningful improvement.
