Stay as far away as you possibly can. I wish that I could rate them with zero stars. No safety in place. Their training was an absolute nightmare. We were sent to High Level and due to rain, unable to work for two weeks. They kept us up there and would not allow people with children or ageing parents to go home to look after them. The manager was horrible at his job and I would never wish his management on my worst enemy. The yard they have is full of half rotted steel drums seeping who knows what into the ground and their "commitment to safety" is an absolute joke. They still make you turn in physical time sheets on carbon paper that you have to Purolator to them. If you miss the drop in the city you're stuck in, you won't be paid. If driving large spray trucks, you have to keep a driver's log, but they hardly teach you how to fill it out. One member of our crew was pulled over the first day and his log was incorrect. The company didn't give him a break and made him pay the money, even though he was improperly trained to begin with. Stay as far away as you possibly can.

great place to work must be fit and able to lift , work around chainsaws chippers control traffic , learn a lot about the utility industry learn to work high power safe , and efficiently work as a team with people in the utility industry. Work emergency storms travel around to many locations constant change in work environment, rewarding work helping keep power on for people , learning how to operate all kinds of different equipment , overall good place to work.

Management is slow to get the tools we need to do the job and rather gossip about employees (overhearing too many conversations) and non responsive a lot of times (especially if you work on city). 

No insensitive to grow in the trade (schooling, licenses ect.) Other than that I really enjoyed working with the trees in all types of weather hot, cold, rain, snow or sun. I learned a lot about the tools and trees it was a great job, you'll meet some interesting people too, Was just the culture and management that made me leave.

Our day started at 5:30 am, we worked 12 hour days, 84 hour weeks. We travelled all over northern Alberta, working on the road. I learned a lot about the mixing and applicating of pesticides to vegetation on oil and gas lease sites and underneath power lines. I worked and lived with another woman for the duration of my employment. The most enjoyable part of my job was entering a field I had no prior experience in and walking away with an extensive amount of knowledge of the industry.

Place is poison to mid-management and employees combined. Out of all my years working, many many jobs I’ve had, this by far takes the cake. MTO up our rear end, as should be other agencies, this place pushes ones imagination beyond belief, overall employee satisfaction.. nil .. I’d say the only ones who say it’s good are; the drug addicts, DUI recipients, and cons who won’t be fired because they have grandfathered UA licenses.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The salary is good and the advantages.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The job is very dangerous and you work with people who are very little knowledgeable.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful and not well organized.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very repetitive and dangerous

Enjoyed the work. Enjoyed the crew members. Management doesnt care about its employees, rarely see management at all. Most of the time you are running around with your head cut off and no recognition is ever given. Never reimbursed for gas. Never reimbursed for toll fees. They promise a lot but its 98% words no actions. All in all a decent full time pay cheque but THAT'S IT. Isn't worth the bs. Would I work for them again? No.

learned a lot about herbicides and the rail road . the management is verry easy to get allong with. get to work with lots of different and interesting people. hardest part of the job is that i'm gone 6 months out of the year ,miss my 5 year old son a lot! the most enjoyable part of the job is that i get to see alot of the country(worked from Nova-Scotia to BC)

Lacking equipment to safely to work,  uneducated staff, specifically management, management renting trucks out to utilities as side job cash venture on weekends, never met a single certified UA while there but all operators were cutting trees around Powerlines.   Terrible wages, terrible equipment, the men are unhappy.  Stay away

Asplundh gave me a great opportunity coming out of school to work with real Utility Arborists. It gave me the real experience I needed to start working on my own. The benefits are very good. I however get homesick so whenever we had to travel, it was tough for me. It was a good foot in the door for an Arborist.
