I have stayed too long

Pros

- Flexible hours - Little to no micromanaging - Building has a fitness center - A fair amount of PTO hours

Cons

- Poor company culture - In the office 4 days a week (but could switch to 5 at any moment) - Company took away annual bonus - Company doesn't offer an official review process. In April you'll receive an email or call from HR informing you that your "raise" will be in your next paycheck. - Pay raises are literally 20-40 cents

Pros

Flexibility Decent pay Good culture at the branch level Supportive career growth

Cons

Corporate policies and changes are making people quit. I have seen it many times at the branch level where people who get promoted into higher level positions barely get compensated for it. You are just a number at the end of the day unfortunately.

Toxic Culture at the Top – Disappointing Experience in Leadership

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Dedicated teams in the field doing their best under pressure - Gained valuable insight into what not to do as a leader

Cons

- As a manager, I witnessed firsthand the lack of accountability and professionalism from senior leadership - Raises are minimal or nonexistent, no matter how well your team performs - Culture of overworking employees without recognition or support - Leadership repeatedly stated that industry standards don’t apply because BrightView is a public company - Constant gossip and power plays among senior leadership, especially the VPGM in the Great Lakes region, who fosters a toxic and divisive work environment - Decisions are made based on politics, not performance - Employee morale is dangerously low due to job cuts, and turnover is high—yet leadership shows no urgency to change
