Atlas-Field-Services

Atlas Field Service is generally seen as one of the better contractors to work for. They will provide a work vehicle, and all the equipment you need for it. The pay rates are $40+ depending on qualifications. It’s an alright company to work at depending on the region you are in, the supervisors professionalism varies immensely from region to region, however if you’re lucky, you’ll have a professional one. Mostly work alone and get your assignments via email, however communication is lax, you won’t know work is late until you receive the assignment 2+ hours after start time. Overall, it’s a good company to work for, but expect the same atmosphere and benefits as other Utility contractors.  

Atlas is definitely one of the better companies to work for in this industry (inside the PG&E contract, anyway). You are compensated very well for your work, management does everything they can to set you up for success. In return for that you will be expected to work long hours and many days without a day off. You will be driving long distances and staying nights in hotels. You will be expected to up and go a couple hundred miles away at the drop of the hat. If you need to be home every night, if your family can't function without you there everyday, this is not the job for you. The upside to all of this, of course, is the paycheck. These long spurts of overtime means the money you make here is better than any of the bigger "corporate" companies working on this contract. Young folks are out here buying houses and new cars. It is a production based job and you are expected to produce.  

I enjoyed working for the company, great pay and benefits, would love to work there again IF they took management issues more seriously.
Unfortunately had a supervisor switch after I was employed and the new one went under investigation multiple times but kept his position. He called multiple members of his team late at night, threatened loss of contract on individuals and caused multiple employees to be fired or quit due to the supervisors choices and actions.
I felt I had found my forever company but that horrible choice of a supervisor ruined it for everyone on his team and I unfortunately lost my dream job for listening to my supervisors instructions.

In my career I’ve worked as an Arborist is just about every capacity from groundy to climber, sales etc.
Working at Atlas has changed my life profoundly.
The pay is excellent, the culture is great, the work is not very hard. Management is helpful and my colleagues make an awesome team. What we do makes a difference as everyone works to maintain a high standard and level of professionalism. 
Everyday I’m able to apply the knowledge and experience I’ve obtained throughout the years to help others. 
If you enjoy a dynamic work environment and can follow simple directions this is a great job for an experienced arborist. 


A typical day started at the microsite. They accommodated lodging and food. The staff was awesome to work with, most were very in the know of the type of work we would be dealing with and hazards associated. The client made strong references to the site I worked at as the best maintained. Very strong leadership culture. The hardest part of the job was locating where the arborists were working on account of how spread out and rural the area is. We worked in the mountains essentially. The most enjoyable part of the day was getting to work and being amongst the one of the best in the industry. The pay was very decent.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay rate and per diem. Benefits like company truck and gas card. Health insurance. Travel to different places. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Job insecurity. Reduction in force layoffs. Amount of driving. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s good to work outside in different places. Safety is the number one priority. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Drive to designated area and patrol segments of trees near the power lines. Inspection is an assessment of completed tree work to ensure that work was completed as specified.

If you’re willing to go the extra mile, you’ll make excellent money. However, work/life balance is sub par. The work tasks are constantly changing, employee training needs improvement and more often than not you’re waiting around for work to be issued to you every morning, which can be frustrating & is an inefficient use of time. This was an o.k. job for the short term, but for the long term, it’s unforeseeable. 

Typical day at work was challenging but rewarding. I learned, that I can depend on my immediate coworkers and not have to go it alone. Management, has some sting players that our customer depends on implicitly. Workplace culture, highly professional. The hardest part of the job, was saying good bye. 
The most enjoyable part of the job was the work, and the people you work with.

You set your own schedule weekly, and if you can manage your time well you will never be pressed on deadlines. Management sets every employee up for success and is available whenever needed. The client is the most demanding part of this job, but if you follow procedures you will have no issues. Pay rate is above competitors as well as company vehicles provided. The best company I have worked for that really takes care of their employees. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Full Management support. The higher ups make sure that you have the resources to perform your duties.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stress at all. It’s a pleasure to work for a fantastic company.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Joyful and also the quality of the employees that work there are very good because they are very knowledgeable and professional people.

Very busy and very engaging in what we do.
