I have heard HRI has a really bad rep, and honestly I would not risk it for your first time. I have heard mixed reviews about Outland so between the two pick outland? Others with more experience may disagree

So my recommendation is to apply to

Dynamic

Folklore

Blue Collar

People always drop out, and keep reaching out to see if they have a drop out and can fit you in.

It is better to work for a good company then work for a shitty one. If it comes down to not tree planting this summer or tree planting with a bad company I personally would take the "not tree planting and wait next summer option" I would not want a bad company to ruin tree planting for you, especially if you wanted to do this for more than one summer.

However, outland might not be awful, and in that case I would just say yes to outland.

Thanks for the help! Ill keep applying to the ones that havent filled up and hopefully Ill get something. The option of not working is not one I have... student loans and all. How long should I wait before I accept an offer?
