Can I ask what the outlook is for work over the winter?

Independent Tree · Nov 4, 2014

Absolutely! Ask away...
We work through most of the winter and usually lay off for the month of February, but we have worked straight through during more mild winters.
Please let me know of you want more specifics or have any other questions.
Cheers!

I know the owners & some of the employees.
All very nice, very competent, technically & safety oriented.

yep with 2 guys in the otcc I was impressed when I first heard of them! and so close to home!

bonner1040 · Nov 5, 2014

Independent is a great organization. Alan is a good guy, they have nice equipment, a great shop and a good territory! Plus they are from my hometown.

Independent Tree · Nov 5, 2014

Thank you Greg & Nick... we're looking forward to seeing you both in December for the OTCC!
Heads up to anyone wanting to apply online... It looks like our application form is not working, but we hope to have that fixed by the end of the day. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Independent pays their climbers to go to tradeshows and climbing comps! Isn't that awesome, I mean heck... I don't even get paid to go to those events on weekends.

Mark13y · Nov 7, 2014

Trade show and comp fees have been paid for, but its not like we're on the clock at the events. Good place to work though with some nice equipment, and a good core group of guys (and gals). I think bonner has more job perks than anyone could ever ask for.

These guys have an incredibly loyal and excellent clientele as well ! If you enjoy working with professional, safe, and enthusiastic people in some of NE Ohio's most beautiful trees you will LOVE working with Independent Tree !

(kinda off topic, but if you are into skateboarding and rec climbing you will also LOVE to hook up with Alan, Nic, Jen, and the crew !)

That is awesome! Inside or out?

Mark13y · Nov 8, 2014

Indoor, 6' mini ramp, not put back together again since we moved into the new shop yet but... ya, here's the old shop

Mark13y · Nov 8, 2014

BMX welcome too-no pegs on the pool coping though. No fruit boots...sorry but we discriminate

joezilla11 · Nov 8, 2014

Haha I wouldn't call that 'mini' !

Independent Tree - are any of the job openings you have available for entry level workers? I have a younger brother about to transition out of the Marine Corps, and he will be looking for full time employment.

Before he joined the Marines, he worked for several large farming operations in the New London, OH area, and he has a real passion for making things grow. He also has a great work ethic, takes pride in the work he does, and is interested in the tree care industry.

Please let me know if positions are still available, and I will pass along your contact info to him ... thanks.

Sorry for the late reply Paulin... I just saw your posting.
yes, we are hiring at all levels from ground workers to supervisors and we would love to hear from your brother.
He can e-mail us at info@independenttree.com or fill out the application online to get started. Thanks

& yes, free unlimited admission to Indy Tree skate ramps (indoor & outdoor) is part of the employee benefit package

We are lucky to not only work with some of the best climbers & clients in the area, but we get to ride with some of the best skaters... Here's a shot of owner Alan Kraus shredding on his outdoor ramp & an aerial view

Still looking for new employees. Climbers and ground crew, experience running equipment is a huge plus, also CDL A or B would be beneficial but neither is necessary. Need motivated hard workers who are willing to learn.
