Weller-Tree-Service

You usually don't know who you are working with until you get in.  Management shorts you hours and is gossipy with other staff so nothing you say to management is confidential. The relationships with other crews is toxic and everyone talks poorly about others. The hardest part about the whole job is getting quality equipment. Chainsaws are mostly 15+ years old so they are super unreliable. Trucks are pretty good with a few bad ones. Chippers are pretty good aswell. Some contracts are hourly with no time pressure but others are priced poorly causing you to rush and cut corners just so you don't get trouble from management. I loved working at Weller tree service when I started but at the time of my departure I hated working there. I was excited to go to work and things just got worse as time went on.

Weller has been a good place to learn new skills, practice them and put them into use on the job. There's many crew leaders who care about their job, their crew and the industry, and then there's some who just don't give a s*** and do their very best to do as little as possible. But usually you can get moved to a different crew if you ask. Management tries hard to provide for all the employees but they're lacking man-power in management so trucks and crews are left without the tools they need to get the job done or meet contract requirements by City's. Overall, a good stepping stone on the way to bigger and better things.

Depending on where you are coming from you meet at the carpool at the Weller yard in the morning for 530am, and take their vehicles down to the city so you can be in the city yard for 630. There is always room to learn, and advance yourself if you put the effort in to learn.

Great family run company, really relaxed environment, alot of the more experienced workers are willing to help you grow and gain experience. Some days people can be a little intolerable but that comes with any job, and we all have our days!

enjoyed working here. good wage. management was reasonable to deal with. Lots of equipment available to get the job done.  Staff were easy to work with.  I enjoyed the freedom of working on a city contract with no bosses micro managing.

Excellent company to work for, family oriented, management is understanding and want to see there employees do well at work and are always there to talk and listen. Willing to train and always willing to push employees to hit there potential.

Good people low chance of moving up. Too many incompetent workers with not enough pride. Owners are amazing, it is the lack of attention to detail and organization that hinders them

Excellent family run business. Always there to help when needed. Good hours great pay. Benefits sre top notch.

Highly reccomend working here if you wsnt to be an arborist 

Good to start here, but you get into bad habits. Hate that people wasted so much time also. Bosses are super nice and accommodating, and the pay was great.
