Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful people.

Cons

- Unethical business practices in my opinion (land not protected by conservation easements nor cemetery status; if business goes under what happens to cremains that have been spread??? No answer.) - Untrained management, unclear communication, unrealistic and changing expectations. - Company-wide burnout

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, opinions, and experience at Better Place Forests. We are highly committed to our employees and customers and believe that feedback is a gift. We hear you. Navigating start-up growth can be challenging as we launch new forests around the country; it is increasingly fast-paced. Even as we move quickly, we’ve been excited to hire many new people and promote internally. This is very important for us as we start implementing learning & development programs, plus manager training, to ensure each one of our team members has a positive and productive career path here at BPF. As we expand, we continue to put our customers first by taking steps to protect our forests, and their memorial trees. That multi-step process includes purchasing land and committing to not develop it, seeking conservation easements, and setting up endowment funds over time, and we take this very seriously. Our legal and real estate teams make this a priority. Again, thank you for sharing your feedback and for your contributions here at Better Place Forests. If you would like to discuss your feedback further, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to hr@betterplaceforests.com.
