      I worked at Brickman full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      The Leadership team was great to work for and the best in the industry. Open, honest place to work where employee development and process improvement was at the forefront.

      Cons

      Too good to be true! Knew it was only a matter of time before it was bought.

      Advice to Management

      Duplicate it.

      Pros

      Easy work but does take a person who pays attention to detail and follows directions. Great supervisor too.

      Cons

      Lol only con I can think of is the smell at the end of the day.

      Pros

      Good chance to work with diverse crew, practice time management, and learn the "on the ground" side of the business.

      Cons

      Sales was unrealistic about estimating jobs. Crews take great pride in delivering excellent work but the money isn't built in when bidding jobs to do job correctly. Crews and supervisors get dumped on from Superintendents and customers.

      Advice to Management

      Deliver on promises made to new hires, give them training opportunities and prepare them for promotions rather than bringing in outside hires that don't fulfill and just move on to the next job.
