Pros

Fun Plants and Great Co-Workers

Cons

The first few weeks or months will seem fun. The owners will treat you like you were heaven sent. Until you have a more intelligent idea than the owner (which isn't difficult). After that, you will be bullied and set up for failure just so the owner feels better about himself. Anyone with any kind of plant knowledge will be treated like they're incompetent. The owners of this business will talk bad about other employees around everyone else. J occasionally has temper tantrums and stomps around like a toddler. L calls her staff "space cadets" when they forget something. There is no work-life balance. J would call people early in the morning on their days off and get angry if you didn't answer. They prioritize business growth and not employee growth. A good year equals a big new greenhouse and no raise. Benefits are terrible and only offered to specific people. If you're looking for a job that makes you cry often, bullies you, and has narcissistic tendencies, then this is the job for you.

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.
