There's a co here in that telemarkets, sells unnecessary work, gaffs trees, has climbers fall out of trees, etc etc. But they charge and get insane $- over $100 per manhr. Crew leaders can make $1500 per week, and salesmen over $60 k per yr.
They get little repeat bus, we ( most good companies)all hope they will be gone soon- they only rolled in here from Spokane and Portland 4 yrs ago.
In fact, they are blanket emailing arborists all over the country trying to hire salesman and climbers. I got my first email two weeks after the second major accident within two weeks had happened. Got "dream job" email again today...My main climber used to work fro them, also David, who just felled that big fir for me. Both left Evergreen, on ethics issues.
I'm super happy, if i do $1200 with one guy, $1700 with 2, $2000 with three- plus your's truly. And satisfied with less.
Plus my expenses are way lower than most co's, partly due to our low workman's comp, and no dump fees ever.
