Asplundh Reviews

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Four tens are great. I have no complaints. I very much liked the fact that the company would not compromise on safety.

Cons

The senior employees did not like to conform to changes in the industry. Mid level management were hard to reach at times because they were over worked. Employees did not realize how good the company is.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep the standards high and keep raising them. This will allow for the dead weight to hopefully go away. Everything was good.

Pros

It is consistent work In a very inconsistent economic time.

Cons

There is no room for upward mobility outside working on a crew where one will max out as a foreman. The management potential is so limited due to the fact it's a privately owned family business. There are no benefits outside general foreman who are greatly underpaid for the level of stress and the time invested.

Not to be negative, I truly believe you have a great business model; although it would be nice to not cap out on salary within the first 2 years without any reasonable notion of advancement.

benefits and time off for personal reasons. advancement is not professionally warranted.

Cons

don't get credit for the work you do. the foreman does
