And how do I make the best of my time here lol?
Been with a tree service for almost 4 months now and it seems like the training/teaching opportunities here are limited (its a Davey owned company so you'd think that wouldn't be the case). They struggle to keep and find employees and there's not a ton of long term experience here in the way of climbing. I've been able to get into more trees lately (partly because they're short staffed and need climbers) and have been able to learn and improve through direct experience but I can definitely tell by now that this isn't the best company to be with. I plan on sticking it out for a little while, at least a year, but am really teetering on the edge of looking somewhere else. Though good companies and managers are probably rare and I could just end up in the same position anyway.
I guess I just want to learn to climb well as quickly as possible so I have a skill set I can use for better jobs or to find my own jobs in the future. This may just be a stick with a ****** company for a while thing.
