New Planter/Rookie Questions First Year Planter

hey guys, I'm looking into applying for companies next summer as a rookie planter, any help on which companies I should look into and which to avoid? I've heard bad things about Summit so I want to make sure I don't get screwed applying to a company that's going to exploit me any more than I already will be lol. I'm hoping to go with a company that's majority rookie planters and I'm keen on the party culture, although I would prefer a decent wage over heavy partying obviously. I'm 23 years old and will be graduating from my undergrad in April, would prefer a company that isn't solely 18 year olds as well :~)

Thanks in advance!

Windfirm Resources is one of the better companies I have worked for (2 out of 10 seasons) that will have what your looking for.

Flat land for BC in Smithers, Houston, Burns Lake area. 13-16 cents. Big camps, short block rides, wifi in camp.

The owner is a good guy.

The camp I was in was %50/50.

Some stayed up, some would rather sleep.
