Great place to work
Ground Control is a hard working environment that supports collaboration. There is a positive attitude between colleagues all aiming to achieve the same end goals.There is a great understanding of work-life balance with flexible work hours, and hybrid work set ups, but also the expectation to achieve and deliver your work load.I am very happy in my current role here.

Strange company, with little clarity on your role
I wouldnt recommend ground control to anyone with an arb background plain and simple as they don't really perform any arboricultural tasks, over the top risk management and hypocrisy for when it's suit there needs. Difficult place to work and feel proud of your work pay not great unless you do significant amounts of overtime.Good luck

If you like working on you're own, this is the job.
You have a site to litterpick, and a set number of hours, some days can be busy, but most of time , pick big bits up, empty bins if needed, area manager calls about once a month, so most of time, sit in cabin, and watch Netflix, easily the best job I've ever had , and most of the fast food store give you free coffee or snacks, and great for finding money in landscape.
