Pros

Decent pay and benefits offerings. Made efforts to give employees a good company culture with fun after hours activities occasionally and encouraged health and fitness.

Cons

Opportunities for internal advancement used to be practiced, but not so much anymore. Expectations are set at stressful levels for a small company.

Pros

Fantastic work/life balance. I have never, ever felt like I needed to work extra (although I have on my own accord), worried about getting time off, or asking for accommodations during busy times. We are encouraged to put our mental health first, and make sure that before anything else, that we are fulfilled and happy as humans. Yes, we're expected to perform, but in a completely reasonable and achievable way. Despite earlier reviews that I have read here, I have ALWAYS appreciated the open-door policy from management, and have never felt hesitant to speak to them about what's going on, whether in my professional or my private life. I GENUINELY feel as if they care, and aren't just doing what they need to do to retain me as an employee. I can say that after three years with the company, there is not an ounce of me that is considering making a move elsewhere, despite consistent offers from other companies. If you're motivated & skilled in your field, you'll do well here.

Cons

Honestly, I'm really happy here after 3 years. Any "con" that I can give would be less about the company itself, and more about the challenges of conducting business in a rapidly-changing tech environment, where you have to truly be agile and up-to-date with the ever changing best practices in our new AI-focused global environment. This requires a constant mind-state of innovation and perhaps ambiguity at times, so you can't expect to get "cozy" and just show up...but again, that's the state of the industry, not the company...and to be frank, I wouldn't really want to work at a company where you are allowed to stay stagnant in your knowledge and capability.

Pros

Floral industry is fast paced and lots of pivots. Very understanding of family first if you also get your job done. Lots of opportunities to grow if you work towards it, it’s not given it is earned. Very forward thinking and innovative, especially with tech development.

Cons

Floral industry is a hard industry to learn. It’s not a cookie cutter industry. Similar to restaurant and food industry. You have to be willing to get in and learn and understand before doing.
