Pros

It looks good on a resume, and the company truck makes people think you have it made!

Cons

100% travel for absolute minimal pay. Per diem? $75 a week. You will also need to argue about how many hours you worked, and then claim less than you actually work. You will also be treated badly by most of the landowners you talk to. Don't worry, just a handful will threaten your life. All because you are the person that must tell them that every tree in their front yard is going to be removed. Ever tell someone you are going to take out twenty-something mature trees?.....Awesome.

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.
