Fear based leadership and culture. Promising vision and mission but the reality is at best misleading, at worst shady. - Anonymous employee Better Place Forests Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback. It’s not an easy one to read, but we appreciate feedback when it’s given. We’re a fast-growing company opening forests very quickly across the country, and this does require a lot of adaptation and iteration – this is true. While we grow, we aim to prioritize the employee experience, encouraging Summer Fridays, no-meeting Thursdays, and consistent time off, to encourage work/life balance as best we can for our team. Our people are our best assets and we do appreciate our team, not just as employees, but as people. Another point we want to acknowledge is diversity. At BPF, we have executive-backed D&I initiatives so that we can ensure our employees are valued, included, can show up fully themselves, and are able to do good, meaningful work. Our work is driven by key decisions we make, so every decision should align with our vision and our values. We emphasize transparency and provide the space for everyone to voice their opinions. We know it’s a fine balance between ensuring everyone is heard and entrusting our leaders to drive mission-driven decisions forward as we grow. Maintaining this balance is very important to us. To your encouraging points about the team consisting of smart, empathetic people – we couldn’t agree more. We’re grateful for the team we have in helping us drive our mission forward. We know you’ve posted your thoughts here, but we’d like for you to share your feedback with us directly if you’re open to it. Feedback is a gift, and hearing more about your experience here at Better Place Forests may help us continue to be our best as a company. Please feel free to reach out directly to people@betterplaceforests.com. Either way, we wish you the best, and we thank you for your contributions to Better Place Forests.
