I am actually a two year veteran of this sad excuse. Both years were retarded. I didn't plant this past summer but a buddy of mine was a rookie with Arbor on the summer of 97 disaster in Alberta for which you have a very accurate review already posted. I don't know where to start. He is a real hands off owner and the track record of the company reflects this.
Organization is the biggest flaw.
I had the good fortune to work with a great foreman, project manager, and some of the greatest people to be found. But that didn't save me from a lotta crap. I don't have much to compare to having never planted for another company but here's what I thought was messed up. Had some brutal walk ins from washed out roads, shit happens, but pushing out school buses to get home got a little silly. Second season problems included another school bus breaking down on the road to the first contract which left us to pay for a hotel room for two days.
