Pros
Benefits are great compared to other industry companies. Co-workers are generally great and create a fun work environment, but it has almost become an us against them mentality when referencing upper management.
Kontras
where do i start... This used to be a great company, but since the investment group buyout and valleycrest merger it has gone completely downhill. Upper-Management consists entirely of business people with no landscape industry knowledge whatsoever. So now it is all about profit with no understanding of where the profit comes from. When this company was owned by Scott Brickman it really felt like a family. Despite the lower than average pay you could be happy with your job because everyone was treated with respect and made to feel like a member of a team. Now, there is no clear direction given from management. you are told to hit your numbers, but not given the support or resources to do so. Company pays its general labor total crap money, so there is constant turnover and you are basically told to just do more with less.
