Most toxic work environment I've ever experienced - Administrative Assistant The Davey Tree Expert Company Employee Review

Pros

Affordable health insurance premium, yearly raises, good work/life balance for the admin assistants (40 hrs week, 5 or more days PTO + sick time).

Cons

Worked as an admin assistant (secretary) & my coworker was extremely hostile and created an incredibly toxic work environment that management refused to fix. Management at multiple levels, trainers, other secretaries & sales reps from other offices all know about this pattern of behavior yet nothing has ever been done. They laughed at the interview about the coworker being "difficult" and said as long as I did my work there would be no problems (not the case). This will continue with the next person in this position. Not worth the pay for the stress. I strongly advise job seekers to keep looking if they are considering this office.

Pros

Employee-owned company with strong industry recognition and long-term stability. There are talented people throughout the organization, and certain teams foster supportive working relationships. Fast-paced environment can provide valuable experience in operations, communication, and project coordination.

Cons

As with many large organizations, communication and visibility into decision-making can sometimes feel limited, which may create uncertainty around priorities or expectations. Onboarding experiences can vary depending on the team, and some employees may feel they are expected to become fully independent fairly quickly. The annual bonus structure could benefit from additional transparency and clearer communication around expectations and timelines. Career growth opportunities may also feel easier to navigate when employees have strong mentorship or leadership support within their department. In some areas of the organization, processes and approvals can move slowly, which may make implementing changes or new ideas more challenging than expected.
