Pros

Sometimes you get free food

Cons

I wasted five years of my life working for SavATree in a grossly underpaid (compared to market rates) and overworked position in the Corporate office. I had the opportunity to see the total lack of care that upper management and ownership had for the well being of the employees. The only way to make any sort of advances (and even this isn't likely) is if you're willing to stab co-workers in the back and sabotage their careers all while brown nosing upper management and never questioning any of the ludicrous crap that they try to push. Notice how many people have marked the negative reviews as 'helpful' while the ones with 4-5 stars (this was an HR / management initiative to try and raise their ratings) aren't viewed as helpful at all. That's because they are complete and utter fabrications. And don't get me started on the sexism experienced at the branch office level. There are offices where arborists and management treat female employees like it is still the 1950s. Upper management knows about this but doesn't give a damn to change it. Do yourself a favor and find ANYWHERE else to work. Any other tree company. Anywhere.

Thank you for sharing your experience. The work we do at SavATree is hands on, physically demanding, and often unpredictable, and that is a core part of the arboriculture profession. We are pleased to hear you found value in the variety of the work and the opportunity to stay active in the role. We continue to focus on providing the training, equipment, and support needed for our teams to perform their work safely and effectively. We appreciate your time with SavATree and wish you continued success in your career.
