Pros

The Compensation package was excellent along with use of a company vehicle. A lot of good employees wanting to please, but little to no leadership.

Cons

Inept management. Only care about profits and not about customers or employees. Good people leaving the company in droves. Customers are leaving too.

Pros

Hands down one of the largest companies to work for in the landscape industry. They also want their people to succeed in the postion they are in and constantly motivating a career nurturing environment for their employees.

Cons

Hard to say much bad about the company however, in trying to get the lowest total delivered cost to the client, some crews can feel pressure from management to deliver their best work while utilizing time management skills that some employees do not possess thus creating friction between workers and management. Best way to solve is for management to provide training and help the crews to become as efficient as possible encouraging the team to better themselves by creating a positive culture and nurture the weak while supporting the strong. This will encourage good cultural practices and develop strong effective teams that will deliver that cost and be rewarded for their efforts.

Pros

Many intelligent and incredibly hardworking people through mid-level and bottom levels of organization. Upward mobility for folks who put in the work. This company is a good place to spend mid-career in the green industry but don’t expect much training or development.

Cons

Executive leadership and strategy is incredibly short-sighted and unsustainable, prioritizing monthly/quarterly profits above everything else, including long term viability of the business. Workloads are insane, they’ll bleed you dry and won’t even say thanks.
