- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Plenty of work to go around if you want it.
Nov 2, 2022 - Sales and Service Associate in Pittsburgh, PARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Its a pretty large company with lots of opportunity for work. Plenty of hours to work if you want them. Want to work overtime or weekends? The answer is never no. If you ask for more hours they'll find something for you to do. Health benefits and paid time off are pretty good for the Landscape/Green industry. As an ESOP the real benefit is in working for them longer term and buying into the company via stock.
Cons
Davey has been kind spoiled with a lot of really great folks working for them in the past, this sort of lends has them assuming everyone who signs on with them has lot of experience or is super capable with no need for oversite during the day. So training never quite lives up to what they promise. Day to day organization and communication can be a bit of a headache, not out of malice just with that assumption of competence mangement is a bit hands off. If your looking for a 40 and out kind of work place that's probably not gonna happen at least in field positions.

- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Company provides benefits and a company vehicle as well as supportive training and management.
Cons
You're only as good as your production this week. Weekly goal they talk about in the interview process is actually a very hard quota that you need to meet each and every week for yourself as well as your project as a whole and you may be asked to do extra to make up for someone else.

- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
100% employee owned and no micromanagement from corporate goons! You can build wealth by investing in Davey stock and retire comfortably.
Cons
Unfortunately Davey Tree’s new hire starting rate is 15 to 25% below our top 5 competitors and our “old school” senior managers are doing nothing to change this! Are crew members are quitting daily and getting an extra $3 to $10 per hour form our direct competitors. We are literally going backwards and helping to provide experienced workers to our competitors. STUPID STUPID STUPID!!! Pathetically Davey Tree does not invest in training in any significant way! Our “old school” senior managers reject almost every training opportunity and only send 32 people per year up to Kent Ohio for training. I have had to fight for or pay out of pocket for the few advanced training classes I have attended since joining Davey Tree. We are building a multi million dollar training center that should be named “The John Davey Lack of training Center!”
