Pros

Looking at plants was nice but it was not enough to distract you from the condescending remarks from the owners

Cons

I wanted to love working here but I quickly realized how awful the owners were. Online they seem so caring and friendly, rest assured it is all made up for instagram likes. J and L regularly make employees cry and then make fun of them behind their backs. They both push ableist work ethics— even in their hiring adds they push being physically capable under the guise of ‘hardwork’. The level of micromanagement is detestable. Both owners bring their marital problems into work and condescend each other over the walkies. Owner L speaks to all of the women in staff like they’re idiots. J intimidated staff members when unionization flyers were posted in the break room. Shortly after they cleaned house and are hiring new staff a month later. Low pay, poor benefits, makes staff drink fertilizer for fun. J would rather take pictures of himself in a flower basket then actually learn about how grow plants properly.

Pros

Awesome coworkers and cool plants

Cons

The carefully crafted social media facade does not reflect the two people that own the company. The owners never wanted employees, openly admit it, and treat their staff as a burden. Bare minimum benefits just so they can say the offer them. Expected to work in dangerous weather conditions. Extreme micromanagement. Constantly contacted outside of work hours. Having a healthy work/life balance is discouraged.

Not So Groovy

Pros

Interesting plants are shipped in. Some nice staff members (not owners)

Cons

Bad culture - lack of experienced managers, relentless micromanagement from owners, owners are extremely condescending and disrespectful, verbal abuse was not uncommon. Vacation and time off are frowned upon. Underpaid and subpar benefit package. Long hours and work weeks —with no breaks. When temperatures are over 100 degrees there are no extra breaks or precautions for staff safety — even in inclement weather (snow). Union busting. Owners regularly made fun of customers — specifically local plant collecting groups.
