“I’ve worked at this company as a construction landscaper for 1 month now and it’s already the most informative experience I’ve had in the industry. This is how a landscape company should function in terms of the treatment of its employees. The 2 days of initial classroom style learning are supplemented with equipment training and a comprehensive series of guides on day to day activities. There is a further orientation period that extends throughout the following weeks. This encompasses on site learning, more in depth training with equipment and tools, as well as supervised independent learning. The management is keen to take notice of effort and boasts a healthy understanding of patience. Workplace culture at this company is exactly as advertised on the website. Company values and policy are upheld at all levels. Every employee seems curated for their position and role. I see long term potential for myself at this company. There appears to be valid reason for loyalty as opportunities for advancement here are plentiful.In a job like this, the people are often the only thing that makes the work tolerable. The weather is frequently difficult. Projects are demanding. Hours can be long. I’m happy to say that the people here not only make the work tolerable, but make it enjoyable. The weather has just as many good days as it does bad. The pride I feel in completing a project always makes the effort worth it. The hours blow by unlike any other job I’ve had. Most importantly, I feel compensated fairly in every facet.”
