Pros

There is quite a strong comrade between the employees due to a communal suffering.

Cons

The upper management is the worst I have ever worked for. While working there I got scolded for very minor mistakes by three different members of the owning family. They are very unprofessional and rude in the way that they treat their employees and are quick to make unfair assumptions. I was inappropriately cursed out & yelled at for a minor mistake by one of the owners -- in front of customers in the store. The work conditions are not the best either, especially for such little money.

Pros

Great company to work for. If you like plants, flowers, and people..,this is the place to be.

Cons

Typical cranky customers from time to time coming into the establishment. May just make it an extra challenge to brighten their day!

Pros

Good discount on plants and learning about flowers

Cons

My experience at Strange's was not a good one. The Mechanicsville location is falling apart in every way possible. The building has never been updated and is filthy. There are cracks, holes, cobwebs and critters in multiple areas of the store, the plumbing has been poorly maintained and leads to issues with the sinks and toilets. Management has unrealistic expectations for their workers since key products are regularly unavailable to complete day to day work, but if you can't make something correctly it's seen as your fault. Any feedback is disregarded, turnover is extremely high, pay is very low across all departments and doesn't meet the modern standards of living, and good luck getting a raise no matter how good you do or how long you have worked there. The upper management will always have an excuse why they can't, and the rules change depending on the day. The owners are either aloof and avoidant, or will demean and yell at you. Everyone else you work with will constantly gossip and divulge your personal information to other employees. There are people with vile and childish attitudes but they will never be reprimanded because they're friends with the right people. If you value your mental health and want to make enough money to eat on a daily basis, I would avoid working here at all costs.
