Trileaf Corporation

I've worked at Trileaf for over 10 years, and I'm in a position of management, so my opinion is obviously biased - but I also have the perspective of of someone that has worked at several companies pre-Trileaf, and of a person with tenure. The first thing I'd say about Trileaf is that for those that are looking for advancement opportunities, there is no better company. Trileaf operates in difficult markets (telecommunications being predominant), and that can be a source of stress - telecom has demanding clients, and is very fast-paced - but it also discerns between those willing to go the extra mile, vs. those that just want to show up and collect a paycheck. If you are client-focused, care about clients' success, and are willing to work to make that happen, you will find Trileaf to be a great career opportunity.

There are some facets about Trileaf that some may not like. For example, Trileaf is a very office-based culture for most employees, and works pretty standard office hours. If you are seeking something more like Google, with a pool table and flex hours, that is not the culture. But on the flip side, many competitors of Trileaf that operate in that manner (particularly in the telecom and construction markets) have annual layoffs when work volumes decrease. That is not Trileaf - and there have been some slow periods. As evidence of that, several coworkers that have left Trileaf in years' past have come back to say they regret having left.

All in all, I feel very fortunate to have found a career here. I've learned a great deal, I feel a sense of purpose, and I have always felt that my compensation was a direct reflection of my level of effort. I recognize not everyone has that experience, but that has been mine.

An employee quit within the first six weeks I was at the company. When my employment was terminated four employees also submitted their resignation in the same period. From the beginning I had a negative experience with supervisor. Team was fragmented and already looking for work elsewhere. Very poor company culture. Management is combative with each other and spoke poorly of each other behind closed doors. Competing interests within company created a lack of cohesion. Long travel days with short deadlines met with high project workloads meant that you were working 50+ hours a week some days without any sort of incentive or reprieve. Once they learned of your output they expect you to operate at that level until burn out. Management made no effort to alleviate poor team morale, alleviate team burn out, or address negative interpersonal interactions. Passive-Aggressive/Aggressive communication, Blame game culture, low team morale, People quit often causing work to increase without warning, High demand lead to employees/management to skip lunch/vacation/workevents work long hours build resentment lack collaboration/teamwork, Management are not doers just demand work without assisting in project success 

Trileaf is a pretty good work environment, but I felt that they cared more about profits than anything else, including the well-being of employees and the environmental work we were supposed to be doing. That's not too surprising from a for-profit company; It just wasn't for me. I didn't feel I was actually doing anything that protected wildlife or benefited the environment. I was constantly told to change my paperwork regarding potential impacts on endangered species. 

I was also told that I would be travelling 30-40% of the time, which I found out later was a blatant lie that management often tells potential employees. You will likely not get to travel, or verrrry rarely. Please don't fall for it like I did! The travel/field work was the only reason why I took the job, so that was hugely disappointing for me and took away all my motivation. 

If you don't mind being chained to a desk and doing extremely intricate and tedious paperwork all day, then this could be a good fit. There are many great people working there and you can advance quickly. They're making efforts to be more inclusive and progressive, but the upper management is kind of a rich white boy's club.

This company is great for those who are self motivated and can commit to meeting project due dates. Although the work load can be heavy and stressful at times, the travel and exposure to new environments and tasks are, most of the time, worth it. Employees Delivering quality projects in the allotted timeframes and sharing innovative ideas allow for maximum growth and great compensation at this company.  Travel and workload commitments are much better suited for the entry level worker with little to no responsibility. Work from home flexibility is minimal. Senior level expertise in the company is a little lacking and managers mostly consists of those that have been self educated and committed to clients and projects. There are some great people sitting as managers, and others that are detrimental to the company and do not offer motivation or direction to their teams. Overall, there are cons at every job but the company’s pros May outweigh the cons for some.

There are some really great and talented people working for Trileaf. However, it is hard to feel like a valued employee due to the mismanagement and dysfunction that is near constant in the HR department. 401k issues, tax issues, benefit issues, and paycheck problems have been persistent over the last year. 
Turnover in HR AND accounting is ridiculous. 

Employees don't know who to turn to with problems and are often provided with non-answers in response to questions. Discrimination is problematic as well, largely because HR is such a mess that there are no policies or protections in place to prevent discriminatory behavior. It is especially a problem at the corporate level. 

So in short, Trileaf has some good people doing good work, but the company is generally messy and chaotic. Really lacking in sound policies, especially regarding DEI. The president is just not a good person and there is very little support for employees at the corporate level. 

It's really a shame, because the company could be so much better!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Told to ask for help when needed. Asked for directions on how do do things on the tracking system and got nothing or told it wasn't available.   Given assignment and told one type it was but it was not so didn't get done correctly when anticipated so much time and it needed more in part since I was sent to assist in the field.  Manager said should ask for help on them after the fact but he assigned both those misleading projects and the fieldwork so should have known my availability.  Disappointing experience. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Asking for guidance and not getting what I needed to complete my tasks


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I was remote.  Though they don't define they want you at a set home office rather than working hours in better settings like the library.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Log on work on projects. Teams meeting or chars from tome to time. Some field work.

First off this company has no probable lying to you about the benefits, time requirement and training you will receive to get you to accept their job offers. If you do take a job with this company, expect to work well over 40-hours a week, you have to keep on HR if you want any of the benefits you were promised and there is no training. They have no planning or forethought for anything, I mean if they could cut a corner somewhere they did. The first week is sit around wounding what it is you are supposed to be doing and then they just assign you work and expect you to just figure it out. The management was some of the worst I have ever worked under, not just bad butt completely clueless of how to manage people... no leadership skills what so ever. After 6 months of changing standards being lied to about being put as a regular employee and working well over the 40 hours a week I was promised when I took the job, I quit this job without notice. (which is something I never thought I would ever do).  Overall this company is worth avoiding at all cost.

I worked for Trileaf for 2 years and during my time spent there I was lied to multiple times regarding compensation, 401k, bonuses, promotions, and was even told that I spent too much time talking to o-workers when they would come to my desk to talk (I rarely ever approached them)...

I complied by being as cold as possible and stopped participating in anything but work and then was reprimanded for telling coworkers that I couldn't talk to them because I was getting in trouble (I guess I said it too loud and too often)... 

Regardless, it was a poor work environment... overloaded with work... only good thing about it is that they are willing to hire without experience. The bad is they often "threw you to the wolves" to either "sink or swim"... quotes used by senior level management after minimal training...

The best part of working here was working with my direct managers and coworkers. They do invest in training you for many positions but then do not compensate your own investment in these new responsibilities. Trileaf's HR department is basically non-existent with just one person in charge of it who is not a trained HR professional and they weren't able to accommodate my medical demands as instructed by my doctor as they required specific wording that was not provided by doctor. VP of the company repeatedly displayed patterns of disrespect making me feel "replaceable." Management tried to work to keep me there but the company's overall system is non-professional and employee well-being was not a priority unless you've been with them for longer than 4 years.

I had an interesting job as it no longer exists after I left. As the permit coordinator I was very stressed. I didn't feel it was a one person job. I had support from my manager, but sadly don't think I am meant for the culture set there. The culture is work, work, work, do anything for the client. I think we should have limited what we did for clients, but it was always say yes and figure out how to solve the problem later. Office environment was nice, I made friends there. Management was good, but it just seemed we were taking on too much work. I would discourage someone from working there, but warn them that there is a lot of work and it can get overwhelming if you don't stay on top of it all.
