Pros
The field workers are tough, dedicated, and loyal. Many have worked there for decades. The best parts of the company are its people, especially those who work in the field or directly with the clients. Lots of industry knowledge within the employees there. The Commercial construction department is a highlight, with low turnover compared to the Residential Design and Maintenance Departments. Also, the owner sponsors permanent residency for H2B visa workers for a few each year, a great way to support their workforce where it counts. In short, this is a good place for newcomers to the landscape industry to gain experience and knowledge.
Cons
This company may suffer from not knowing where it wants to go. For most positions, there is little to no upward mobility. Assistant Designers face difficulties moving into full designer positions, and Account Managers in their Maintenance Department have very little incentive for upwards growth or increased sales.
