Pros

Very results oriented. Company likes to move fast. Very nice headquarters in Marysville. They have very strong brands in lawn and garden category and are the biggest player in this segment.

Cons

People are simply not respected. They are considered dispensible. Minimal work life balance. Expect to work 24/7 with the reward being 'allowed' to keep your job. Financially, very dependent on weather and seasonal in nature. If it is a good weather year, the company does well. If not, employees are let go very regularly. As a result, this is not a place where your build a career. Rather this is where you do a job.

Weekly pay, 2 of the supervisors are sweet.

Everything else, not as friendly as you they put on, Not as diverse as you think it is. Mirco-bullying and racism but they won't admit it and will try to cover it up
