Ball Horticultural Company

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was no “best” part. And, Don’t ever make a mistake. You won’t be able to defend yourself, explain yourself and/or be given a 2nd chance. What a joke that they were given the “best places to work “ status. They are not! It’s so “corporate” without a “family” atmosphere that they brag about. It’s their way OR the highway. I highly recommend NOT taking a job at Ball Horticultural!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being heard. Not being able to have an opinion. And not be given a 2nd chance if you make a mistake. I never got the recognition I deserved. In 4 years, I cannot remember a compliment from my “superiors”!! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The “suits” run the place and there’s no room for your opinions or, if you have an issue,  that you would feel comfortable bringing up something that bothers you that may need to be corrected or changed. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy. Overworked and unappreciated.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The cafe is handy, the people are friendly, and they constantly promote from within.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Pay. They pay the entry level jobs well but it’s slow to get any significant raise so if you’re a young college grad you basically have to take on a new role every couple years. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly, sometimes to a fault and people can be pretty fake at times too.  Very ethical, transparent, and lots of company activities to get people engaged. Overall ver positive culture.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Good portion of the day spent in meetings, the rest of the day you’re answering emails and helping others, hopefully can carve out time to work on a project. It’s not too stressful however, and as long as you are transparent with your supervisor, they will always work to help you.

This place was a better environment when I had first started but it definitely has gone downhill fast.  The 1 star review from the Senior Accounts Payable Administrator this year is completely accurate throughout the company.  The company got too big, too quick and forgot to respect their workers. It's a good stepping stone though for learning IF you are ok with: HEAVY amounts of favoritism, low pay, no way to move up, and bad management that does not respect the blue collar workers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Collaboration with international teams

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Poor management
High workload
No recognition
Poor career development

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Exclusionary. More focused on protecting an image rather than doing the right thing

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long hours, working without actual direction, routine procedures with poor quality control standards

It was a great place to work up until new management came in and tried to change things, sales support supervisor is a micromanager, not as diverse as the claim to be. Room for growth as long as you don't have color or are young or male. I was let go with no notice or reason provided. Too many office politics. 

Welcoming and inclusive place to work. Everyone is willing to provide help if you just ask! Management is flexible if you need time off for appointments or personal reasons. Great job for someone who likes to stay busy and doesn’t mind being on their feet all day. I learned a lot about plants from the growers! 

The are no limits on opportunities in research and project innovation. Its a good company to work for, people around you are not looking for a new job, they want to stay. Healthcare and financial incentives are not the best, but interesting enough to be one of the top options out there. Its a family company, and the environment is friendly. Working for Ball Horticulture is very demanding, but rewarding!

The on-site gardens are beautiful, and there are decent healthcare and retirement benefits. Workplace culture is stressful and unpredictable, causing a poor work-life balance. Expect to work overtime. While some workers were very hard-working, support from management was questionable. There is little room for career growth within the company due to budget concerns.

I had a very tough time here. The actual work was fantastic. It was everything else that really made it hard for me. I did not feel very welcome. My interviews went really well until it seemed 1 person did not really like me as a person. That's how I felt anyway.  It was hard for me to feel included and appreciated. Inclusivity was not there. I couldn't be myself.

A great place to work, you meet new people daily. The management is always their to help you progress in your position. The hardest part about the job would be the things you can't control like the weather for shipping your products. The best part of the job is the people you get to work with along with the different people from around the country and canada.
