GREENMARK EQUIPMENT

Greenmark is the perfect analogy of being in a toxic relationship and not realizing how terrible the situation is until you finally get the courage to leave and meet someone who treats you right. This place will absolutely destroy your mental health. This company does not value its employees at all. This is proven currently by the mass amounts of great people who are leaving. You will go to work every day wondering who will quit today. Ownership only cares about profit and will step on anyone and everyone to get it. Your only purpose is to make them money. You will see different rules for different people depending on who the favorite employees are. You will never be told you are appreciated or that you are doing a good job but will immediately be told if you mess up. Ownership is so far removed from reality that you will constantly need to explain to them what you do so they can precede to micromanage you on what you just told them. They will force impractical programs and processes on you that they think are great only because they don’t understand reality. Ownership is also too afraid to address issues or negative employees but will instead show up to a location, go straight to an office and close the door all day so they don’t have to talk to anyone face-to-face. Be prepared to work 6 days per week for the rest of your life. Depending on your role, you may work 12-16 hours per day during busy season. You’ll be told “that’s just how it is” “that’s the industry” and “you know what you signed up for.” The truth is, they can't keep enough employees to be fully staffed so they just overwork who they have. Greenmark is always hiring because it’s good employees are always leaving.

The Monticello store specifically is the most negative work environment imaginable. No one gets along, there is constant finger pointing and blaming. No one takes accountability for anything. This is all lead by an absolutely incompetent store manager. He frequently reminds everyone of his knowledge, years of experience, how great he is, and that we work in his domain. As a leader, he constantly works against his team, blaming everyone else for pitfalls but taking credit for any success. It is typical of Greenmark to promote people like this who are absolutely incapable leaders. Ownership is so afraid of losing a dime that they not only tolerate but will promote and celebrate toxic employees.

This company is absolutely pathetic; a complete circus that just keeps promoting more clowns. With hundreds of employment options, I don't know why anyone would choose to work here.

Some of your coworkers will become great friends. Many people that I interacted with daily were wonderful, and made it fun. This company can provide an opportunity to work in an industry that is essential to keeping our country fed. 

GreenMark is a company that really needs to put in some effort to evolve with the times. As a woman, I wouldn't recommend this company to other women. There were countless times I was ignored, talked down to, and just in general was made aware that my opinion didn't matter. Women had no place in management or decision making roles, and were all basically in administrative positions. Equity training for the management team could go far, if they could get off their phones or laptops and actually pay attention. 

Besides being stuck in the 1950s when it comes to women in the workplace, their isn't much flexibility. Times have changed. Not everybody wants to work 50+ hours a week, or the set "8-5" schedule. A little flexibility would go a long way. Work with people, and trust a departments managers, to find a schedule that works for everyone while getting the job done. 

Micromanagement is a huge problem! Within a few months of being at the company, I knew it wasn't going to work for me. People are not trusted to do their jobs, and have people constantly dictating what they can and cannot do, and are told how to do their jobs. 

The company continues to hire in more women and younger people. But if they refuse to modernize and adjust with the times, people are going to keep leaving. 


This company broke me.

I went in with drive, passion, and a genuine desire to make a difference—not just for the business, but for the people I worked with. I gave everything. I visited customers on my own time, delivered parts after hours, and even cooked meals for my team, paid for out of my own pocket. I showed up every single day ready to go above and beyond.

In return? I was lied to. Ignored. Undermined.

Micromanagement was the norm, not the exception. Ownership and corporate leadership were dishonest and disconnected. Upper management regularly minimized lower-level managers, crushing morale and making it clear that no matter how hard you worked, it would never be enough.

There was zero real leadership—just a revolving door of burned-out people trying to survive. The turnover was nonstop. Promises were made just to keep you quiet, and once you pushed back or asked for basic respect, you were pushed out or silenced.

I left emotionally exhausted and disillusioned. If you care about your mental health, your career, or just being treated like a human being—please look somewhere else. No paycheck is worth being broken down like this.

As a turf technician or turf store you will always be an afterthought to this company.  Don’t believe me? Go look at all the job postings for the positions at this company.  It is nearly impossible to meet The efficiency standards that were designed for techs who work on larger ag equipment. If these standards are not met they will affect pay raises and eventually lead to more micro management of your time as they assume you are the problem.  Your managers will fall in line because it’s just easier to pressure techs than to insist that the system is broken. I saw a review that said normal work day is 8 1/2 hrs. This is only true of parts and sales NOT techs!  The company was a good place once but like a lot of other places they went searching for an extra Dollar and companies like codify and people from upper management told them to get it from the techs time sheets. In the end the disorganized inefficient system/polices resulting in money loss are all blamed on techs wasting time.  

GreenMark Equipment is a great place to work with great people. The company takes excellent care of employees through competitive wages, benefits and opportunities to grow within the company. As more time is spent working with the GreenMark team you realize they are truly passionate about helping any customer that comes through the door. An average work day is 8 1/2 hours long with alternating schedules on Saturdays. During spring planting and fall harvesting busy season work days can be closer to 10 hours but its only for a couple weeks. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to work with the customer to problem solve whatever task or needs they have. When joining the team they give you access to unlimited resource and great training to help gain knowledge about John Deere products and services we offer. GreenMark Equipment creates a collaborative environment that gives opportunities for employees and customers to succeed.

Book time is unrealistic at best, especially the Sthil line of products.   Management us terrible about sticking their head in the sand, and micromanaging employees.. lots of promises nothing delivered.. per usual they are big on "thanks for your hard work here's some pizza" which don't get me wrong company providing lunches is cool but not incentive enough to continue to work the long hours in hostile work environment... management needs to come down out of there air conditioning offices and see what really goes into the over inflated pay checks.. see the conditions they force us to work in, and see how many times in a day we don't have the proper equipment and have to "make it work" all woth middle management climbing down our backs..  also they say paid training. But they give 1 hour a week to do training, you can't complete 1 module in an hour so by the following week you've forget what you learned last week. 

I work in parts sales at one of the locations. I typically bring in stock order parts in the morning to restock the store and get customer ordered parts together and call customers to let them know their parts have arrived. After that is done, the focus turns to parts transfers between stores. We have to get those parts tagged and put in the correct totes to make sure they arrive at the correct store. This is all done while watching the counter and taking care of customers parts needs. Then it is taking care of transfers that are coming into our location. After this is done the rest of the day is spent doing various things like organizing, putting together Stihl equipment, making sure the warehouse is organized, as well as of course taking care of the counter. The hardest part can be dealing with difficult customers and having to deescalate any situation. The best part is working with great people and getting to visit customers on site and fill their needs.

I could go on for a while. Worked at multiple locations and the following is relevant to each. The hours make home life difficult. The job security is definitely there but you will get burned out before worrying about loosing a job. Little room for advancement, some team members almost seem like they wish to see you fail instead of offering guidance. Spring and fall hours are long. You are just a number to management and they manage you through a computer screen. Consistently pushing you harder to cut job times down then later complain about work quality then make a quality control process but then time is an issue to them so it is a constant battle back and forth. Benefits and majority of co-workers are great to work with but there are many better places that have lower stress, lower hours, more pay and more room for experience and advancement.

In my experience, communication between upper management and frontline employees often felt one-sided. Concerns raised by staff were not always acknowledged or acted upon, which led to frustration among team members.

Workplace dynamics could be difficult at times. Communication from some members of management occasionally felt unclear or inconsistent, and this sometimes contributed to misunderstandings or tension within teams. Several employees chose to leave due to these challenges.

The organization would benefit from stronger transparency, clearer direction, and more consistent engagement with employees at all levels. Addressing these areas could help improve trust, retention, and overall workplace culture.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good health insurance and vacation.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Always under the gun to make time on jobs,  management that doesn't really listen to technicians concerns when it comes to job time issues.   I always felt defeated for not making times and was never given constructive criticism but constantly beat down. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very toxic .  This is a corporate company that only values money.   Everyone is replaceable.  No matter how much extra effort you put forth it is never appreciated.  Their core values mean nothing. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in and hope there is work for you do to fill your day.
