Pros

Very laid back, very honest company. They charge honest rates to their clients and don't try to upsell unnecessary services. Probably one of the best tree/shrub/lawn care companies for the money. VERY knowledgeable arborists. I don't work at corporate, so I can't speak for that office. My branch is relaxed but very busy, with zero micromanaging. You are accountable for your own work and work load. Do your best and you will get recognized. If clients like you and tell your superiors, you will hear about it. Many call to rave about the tree work performed, and I always relay that info to the team as well. Competitive salary from a family-owned business. I feel as if this company would rather perform exemplary and make an honest buck rather than underperform and overcharge customers. They've been around for 50+ years with extremely high TCIA accreditation and there's a very good reason for that!

Cons

Very antiquated systems, omg get with the millennium! Entire internal processes need overhauling. Understaffed/overworked. It would not kill you to hire a few more admins! So many silly little details to remember that could be completely eliminated with new procedures, database and protocols.

Pros

You are a person and an asset, not just an employee. Great room for growth if you work hard and care. PTO, 401k, health care, overtime, Turkey at Thanksgiving, yearly family picnic, holiday party, holiday bonuses for management AND field employees. advancement if desired and you care. 1964- present, the company has maintained, grown, and thrived by the dedication of good employees. The Almstead’s know this, and reciprocate their thanks…more than appropriately. Very happy Employee, from my inception in the industry(2003) , to date. They have educated me and allowed me to grow, and to support my family. Thou I have had MANY offers, I am still here, loving my job, after almost 20 years.

Cons

No job is 100% perfect. (Don’t kidd yourself) It’s a job, and adapting and overcoming normal day to day issues is what makes a valuable employee. The company takes care of of the people who work for them, and “more than” appreciate the people who keep their family business thriving. There are no meaningful “cons” that I can share, or matter, at the end of the day.
