Advice to Senior Management

Be more aware of what is going on. Also the better you treat your employees the better they will work for you. The more you take the less you will receive.

Advice to Senior Management

Change dress policy. Offer quality vests with name and certification. Let us dress up or better than what we are told to wear. We are highly trained professionals but policy makes us wear a vest that makes us look like we are a meter reader or cross walk guard only because the company wants uniformity. As Arborists if we dress like an Arborist with a patch and a quaility saftey vest people are more likely to listen to our advice and respect our position

Pros

Gain experience in utility management. Work outdoors

Cons

Slow reimbursement for expenses paid out of pocket. Limited time off.

Advice to Senior Management

Think of the little guys out there everyday getting the work done for you.

Pros

Terrifically friendly managers and supervisors. They treated me like a real person, despite my being an inexperienced intern. This was also the first paid internship I ever had, and the pay was very fair. There were opportunities to travel, too.

Cons

The work was a bit boring at times . . . I was given long periods of time to complete relatively small projects. This may please some people, but I prefer to work at a fast pace with significant challenges.

Advice to Senior Management

The company is in good hands; it shows. While their claim of "employee-owned" may be a bit misleading (in reality, it's owned by a very small number of employees), the company provides a solid (if occasionally mundane) working experience.

Pros

Employee owned, employee and customer focused company. Mgmt will generally help when needed and stay out of your way when not needed. Some of the senior management is out of touch with field management while others can be pretty effective. Generally its all about results. The fact that its not public allows for more long term management focus.

Cons

You work hard, expectations are high. Mostly a long term focus but still expectations are high for short term results.
