Good company for hard work and good growth - Tree Climber/Arborist VI Tree Service Employee Review

There are no positives to working for VI Tree

Directors do not understand the commercial arb market. They try and treat large contracts like a residential client. This leads to very last-minute actions being taken and constant chaos within the organisation

Made some good friends here

In the induction I'm told to use my own insurance not worksafe as its better for them. Fresh off the plane, not really understanding Canadian law this didn't register as a red flag. Until the insane obsession with profit and production started to cause injuries, and many of them. Troy and Martin were blackmailing people not to register their injuries through worksafe. Troy is the sort of guy to watch his son on CCTV and tell him off through a speaker. He felled a tree into a power cable as his resignation notice from Davey tree and VI tree's number one mission is to beat Davey tree... I was told I could get a 50 cent raise for studying qualifications whilst another member of staff got a five dollar raise for kicking up a fuss about something else. This 5 dollar raise was then illegally retracted when staff complained. TLDR: Toxic profit based work environment with blackmail and injuries galore
