Riggs Tree Service

I worked for Riggs just shy of six months. I only left in order to pursue the goals I had in mind when I started. I was in a 9 month diesel tech program prior to applying, and receiving a job here. To be absolutely honest; this was one of the better jobs I've ever had. Very very reasonable, honest, and fairly experienced crew (s). I thoroughly enjoyed the time I've spent here. Management is very good to you. Wonderful in terms of pay rates, benefits, as well as how your treated during holidays. Ample time off, all have been paid time off so far. I'm leaving on a positive note; next week, after my notice expires. For zero reason, other than pursuing the goal I've had in mind for many years. I would certainly not be leaving an employer like Riggs, if this new opportunity, just wasn't a better fit. For me, personally. Just about made me feel like I had a second family, away from my home life and actual family. Ebert & Roper would certainly give this employer five thumbs-up. Of you have the opportunity to work here, take that chance.

The best thing about working with this company was the coworkers that I met. We all cared about worker saftey and would try to tell the managers what was actually supposed to be done. They would not listen. Typical day of line clearance. Start the job site, complete what we were supposed to do and go to the next job site. Train employees under me in safe work practices and make sure that they knew what was going on.

The job itself was not a bad job what so ever. it was easy and fun but a lot had to do with the workers around you the atmosphere was awsome some people where above and beyond. mainly cutting limps and pulling brush areas from power lines and residents yards making sure the power lines are safe and clear.

Steady all around work with all kinds of services to provide to the customers most of the time it is me and the boss . I do some of the job bidding or try to find any that is cut and leave laying so there is no clean up afterwards. We climb and piece down trees with ropes , climbing spurs and different size saws , if we have to we then load up all branches and big wood in to the trailer then we take it to the burning location
