Work life balance is non existent. Lost a lot of legacy clients after RES acquired previous company I was employed at due to poor management and lack of project quality. This resulted in the crew having to travel most of the year to work out of state because clients won't accept project bids from this company anymore in NY. No additional compensation for spending weeks on end out of state. Pay is poor and management does not care one bit about you as a person or your career; you're viewed as a billable machine. This company is owned by private equity, which basically means profit is first priority over everything including client relations, work quality, employee happiness, and long term business success. This also results in mass layoffs and office closings if these unknown profit metrics aren't met.

This place is also a revolving door, with so many people in and out, it is impossible to keep up with what is going on. Upper management has assumed their positions mostly due to people quitting and they were the only ones left to take the position, and thus are really unqualified to manage projects, let alone employees. Not worth the "entry level experience" you may gain from working here; way too stressful and un-rewarding.

RES is a growing company, and they are learning and growing as a company. They're trying to keep the small company feel with a large company presence. Upper Management is working on creating more inclusivity with the operations team by incorporating better communication, ie: weekly-monthly whole team calls. 
You're able to travel throughout the states to help on other projects and work with other folks within the company. 
Most offices try to shoot for 8-10 hour days, longer days if in a time crunch, but not regularly. The days that are longer are mainly during prescribed burn season. 

Growth: Is possible, more possible if you're willing to relocate. 

Compensation: After reviewing & talking with friends from other companies, the compensation rings relatively equal to a little better compared to the competitors. I personally, have always gotten at least a 5% raise each year and bonuses.

I reassigned from Resource Environmental Solutions LLC and for good reason. Internally, these folks don't communicate, they do not value relationships, and no one knows exactly what is going on from top to bottom. Very confusing and stupidly cut-throat. Worst thing about working RES is that they don't care about the landowners, low, low balling them on land values and indifference to the conservation area once the project has been completed. Externally, these folks have a hard time building the essential relationships for continued conservation into perpetuity. Ultimately, poor leadership and management of resources makes working at RES less than ideal and even a liability to your career; especially if you are in land acquisitions. These folks just don't care about you or your reputation.  

My experience is there won’t be a review process at you annual increase. The bonus program is a giant secret how you will qualify or what you will get. Most people within the company will not have an official job description. The opportunity for advancement is very limited and you don’t have leaders you have managers. Many aren’t interested at all in helping you get to the next level or in helping you get to the next level. GIANT disconnect between corporate and regional offices. The place you work to hear the term “be a team player”. Also a place that wants you to take on more responsibility with no additional compensation which can go as far as asking you to do two positions without compensation. Also like to trial you within a promotion without increase in compensation but will increase your responsibilities. Ask a lot of questions!!

Lack of management, rarely seen a Project Manager on site for more than 10 minutes a visit and maybe seen twice in a week, mostly once a week.
No communication on daily tasks, future projects.
Company subcontracts a lot of the work they get due to not having capabilities of doing it themselves.
Hired as a Heavy Equipment Operator, however they had no equipment work to perform due to being hired and brought in to a project that was finishing.
The bids they had on other projects that I was told they had secured was not true. All bids lost and waited two weeks to tell us to say they had no local work or enough to keep us working during winter. So had to resign after only two months of employment with this company 

Pay is reasonable for the field but that’s not saying much. Blatant disregard for their employees safety and well being. Will dangle a promotion above your head and tell you that in order to receive said promotion they want to see you doing the tasks of the position without any of the positives that come with it. You want to be a manager? Well you need to be doing the job of a manager while not being paid as one or being able to put on your resume that you held that title. Don’t even think about applying if you have ANY reservations about getting multiple kinds of herbicide on your skin DAILY. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Outdoor work was the best part of being employed.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being in 4 places at once and trying to manage each individual project while trying to keep up all of the other responsibilities.   Not having support from upper management. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic,  no communication, genuine lack of respect and understanding

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Always walking around waiting for the other shoe to drop.  4 months after I began my employment the company had a massive across the board layoff.  No communication leading up to it.

Using personal vehicle, travel to job location region on Sunday night. Check into your hotel for the weekly stay. Work week is full of “supervising” subcontractors, no real internal engagement from co-workers or other work groups, stuck in a silo! Late Friday afternoon travel back home, just for the short turnaround time and travel right back. 

I currently work here and feel well compensated for the work I do at RES. However, RES is constantly growing and acquiring new companies across the country. It's easy to feel overlooked and management always seems to be shifting. You could be working on a project locally/ regionally depending on your job and skillset. 
Their concerns for safety are top-notch. Corporate level has a lot of say in what happens in offices across the country which is a little frustrating when they do not know the in and out operations of each individual office.

So far, the job has been pretty good. I like the people I work with and for (for the most part) and I enjoy having several different project opportunities. The work takes us all over the Midwest which has it's ups and downs. My only real complaint is that I feel like the compensation should be better based on how physically demanding this job can be, and is, more often than not.
