Davey Tree Employer Reviews

great company to work for with a good structure top to bottom

Productive and fun workplace. Studies and career growth are present daily. One may learn about the use of new equipment constantly. The management is very respectful to the workers, perfect and impeccable. All see for the better of the work in a friendly and obeying environment. We put many extra hours a week. There is always work.

it was a good and stable place to work. The only reason I don't work there anymore is because after 12 years with the company the contract ended.

Identifying tree I.Ds, great team player work well by myself as well, always on time early in the morning around 6am. Learned how to climb multiply trees daily and better ways on how to inspect for the ASian Longhorned Beetle bugs. Management was good structure the climbers right direction to get the work done within the day,CO Workers are great they – more... become like your family we look out for each other by assisting. The hardest part of the job is Climbing 10 Huge trees in one day and inspecting it 100 percent throughly looking for tine hole that the beetle may infest. Most enjoyable part of the job is i love what i do i get my workout and climb the trees. – less

From the so-called "management" using the place as their personal garage during work hours, and the inventory as their personal supply for parts for their side businesses to the hiring of incompetent relatives to the disgusting and stomach turning sexual innuendos with the beastly secretary all day long(vomit), this place was a joke. The main manager – more... of the Fleet Service couldn't order the correct part if you gave him the part number and the phone number to call. The HR person has the worst attitude and the biggest chip on her shoulder, especially if you don't return the vomitous sexual jokes she and some of the other employees make all day. The promises they make you at the time of hire might as well come from a politician, cause they don't mean anything. The management is never wrong, even if they are, they will blame the night shift mechanics. The management as a whole was a joke. "Provided training", yea right. "Generous compensation", no way, barely enough to make ends meet. More than 1 year without a review or raise is more like it. Other employees have gone for more than 5 years without a raise. There is "mandatory" more than 10 hour days, but if there is no work, be prepared to see the day shift get work while the night shift gets to burn a vacation day. Oh, and you can bet the day shift always has work, especially the incompetent cousin-in-law of the maintenance manager. "We have a fully stocked work truck", except for any tool that you might actually need for the job. Oh, and there is no insurance provided for your tools while they are in the non-secured building, so if one of the climbers snags your tools while you are gone, too bad for you. Feel free to apply for this job, you will be sorry just like I was after a year of employment. Whatever you do, don't photocopy a piece of paper, cause that's a safety violation! – less

Was a professionally operated company, well managed and offered opportunity based on performance. Highly recommended.

Good job if you realize it is not a "career" move. If you apply thinking you will advance internally, it will certainly never happen. The hard working, and knowledgeable are treated harshly and unfair while the inept, and lazy are coddled as management tends to play favorites. Work culture here is also very "clicky". Work is extremely monotonous. You – more... are also expected to work 10+ hour days as well as weekends. If they could push you more, they would. Job is also contracted, so it could cease at any time. Inclement weather and you don't work, you do not get paid. If weather holds out for an extended time, pay can be OK – less

I did a little of everything at Davey Tree, accounts receivable, customer service, pre employment screening and application processing, phones, errands, Sales support, routing.

a hard job but fun to learn. learnd tree id and more knots ect. You cant feel your body by the end of the week . this job is not for the feat of heart . you can make friends there .

The job is dangerous so if your scared of heights or power lines you would not like it. over all it pays ok and is steady work.

This is a good company that respects the responsibilities we all have for our families, while still being clear about performance expectations. Benefits are good, especially in today's climate, and long term employment is not only possible but encouraged.

liked the co workers and the management team. cut down trees with other crew members.

Job is interesting and can be rewarding, but local management is inexperienced, inconsistent, and unecessarily negative. A sweat shop mentality pervades and talented employees with science degrees (required for the job)are generally treated like cattle. OK job if you understand its not going to be a career with any upward mobility. Good for people right – more... out of college looking for temporary work before they embark on a more serious career path. Pay OK (hourly), but no performance-based raises, no annual reviews, no cost of living adjustments. Long hours in the field under all kinds of weather conditions are also not for everyone. No work (or pay) during inclement weather. – less

Great coworkers nice place to work enjoyed the comrade of the employees

Not a job for everyone. Company rewarded friendship not work ethics. Lazy employees rewarded while others with more ambition were used up and rarely rewarded. Bonuses non-existent and raises had to gained through harassing supervisors. Days were labor intensive giving a great feeling of accomplishment. Storm duty required a great of family time sacrifice – more... that one is required to give up. Salary never matched work requirements or risk level of job. – less

Its a decent Job Just not ran the right way They tell you one thing and its another. The Gf's act like its coming out of their pocket.For a big company like them should not be a problem. When you work hard all day for 10hrs you would like to hear a good job. NOT here. They are also good at telling you friday after work that you have to work saturday – more... and then act funny when you cant make it in because you made plans. The have insurance but its not any good – less

As a utility line clearance tree trimmer, you are contracted with electrical utility companies to maintain right of way easements through properties. You are also typically on call 24/7 for storm cleanup and power restoration work. Usually give you plenty of free time while also providing a full time paycheck. You get to travel all over the country – more... usually for a couple of months at a time, but its not bad. As long as your a hard working individual that loves working outside and is not afraid of heights, usually 55 feet or less, then this may be a job to consider. – less

As a “tree trimmer” part of a three-man team, we were responsible for trimming and maintaining Oahu’s lush vegetation. During my employment I successfully demonstrated sound judgment, risk awareness, teamwork, customer service, and maintained current first aid training and certifications. I enjoyed working for this company because there was a high level – more... of comrodery between employees, it was like working with family. Living in Hawaii was amazing what else can I say? – less

The management and co-workers are great people and are very helpful.

Trim trees of various sizes and difficulty. Job is pretty dangerous, but totally worth the pay.
