Working in yard entitles working through rain, snow, and burning heat with minimum of OSHA guidelines being administered. Long hours starting from 6am-6pm Mon-Fri. Hard labor intensive work constantly. Dangerous work zones pushed to the limit by pressuring management trying to increase productivity.
