![]() Office staff do not understand basic geography. They let go numerous employee's due to them refusing advancement because they didn't feel safe or qualified yet for the technician role. They will also fail to mention during insulation jobs aswell, staying in an attic all day, on hot summer days with 2 people. They practice safety extremely well due to the high dangers. The salesman will under quote and do extremely unsafe jobs and say to management unrealistic time scales plus undermanned to achieve those goals. They demand you work Saturdays while the rest of the office is at home. Some have ego's not understanding why the job isn't done others understand. Work conditions are brutal you'll have to crawl through attics on the hottest days on recording and be on roofs on dangerous windy days, including the winter when its covered in ice. The pay is not worth it considering at other companys a wildlife technician makes around 20-25. Pay is $16 for assistants and 17 for technicians, benefits are okay. Getting a truck in that time span is way to soon, considering half the stuff we do is borderline safety violations.The workload we have to do is insane while being exhausted. I advanced quickly and got a truck within 3 months due to everyone helping each other out. The technicians are awesome to work with, you start out as an assistant. There's no structure for the management to follow and a lot of the times they wing it, and if it ends badly, it's not them - more. As I said, management feeds into the trash talk nature of the young and often immature employees. ![]() They make office life fun and upbeat but when they go in to their offices the true nature of the Skedaddle employees shows. The higher ups are easy to talk to, and great people to be around. Management actively participates in trash talk and will give hints as to who is going to be fired. It's common knowledge that when you leave at the end of your shift, you will be talked about badly, by whoever is left, or by the people who have managed to stay there longer than a year. You will be penalized for having a bad day, you will be told who will most likely try to get you fired, and you will be made fun of for things you can't change, and then will be penalized for not getting the jokes. There's a power struggle among management for who is the true manager that usually involves an employee having to choose who to listen to instead of knowing who to listen to. Sometimes management is your best friend, other times management hates you but won't tell you why, and on the odd occasion you will be reminded just how much you owe them. The management style at Skedaddle is very hot and cold. It took me a while to realize what it was: Management, or lack thereof. The office is clean, there's complimentary coffee, bathroom breaks when needed, you can smoke every hour on the hour, but something there is off. Skedaddle as a company is really great to work for. Do not get roped into dispatch unless you want to do double the work for the same minimum wage pay. If you're looking for a job a couple of hours a week, or just a short term position - Skedaddle is ideal. This is not a position as a long term job, you will notice that the turnover rate is incredibly high. Other reviews are right when they say that management feeds into the trash talk of other employees, and even start the trash talk themselves. You are not provided with breaks unless you smoke and your lunch breaks are spent still answering calls. A bad day for one person can quickly turn into a bad day for the office. One of them staying late often, working hard - and is paid minimally for it while being left out constantly. Managers are often mistreated or treated unequally. The information is constantly changing, and you're often not made aware until you're punished for it. From the top of management down to the callers on the floor, things are hot and cold. ![]() Unfortunately, the longer you're there you begin to realize the work environment is not as great as it originally seemed. The office can be fun, and there are supplied coffee and supplied lunches occasionally. ![]() The training is adequate and the job itself is easy. When starting at Skedaddle, it seems like a reasonable place to work.
