In sales, you receive a commission, but all employees are eligible for monthly bonuses (profit sharing) if sales goals are met. As a sales associate, I'd arrive, grab a radio and sold tags, then greet customers. (The training materials were excellent in regards to customer interactions.) The various other departments did their specialized jobs and freed me up to spend most of my time selling and then moving the product to sold area. This position does require some lifting and moving of product. I'd regularly walk over 5 miles in a shift.

Being a family-owned business, sometimes you just need to accept policies that you might not agree with or completely understand, but they do try to treat their employees right. Most long-term employees have held various positions in the company, and many of the managers were promoted from within. That said, almost all positions are seasonal--only managers work all year, and during the busy season they tend to work a LOT of overtime. Work/life balance for some employees is not the best.

I loved knowing that the harder I worked, the more money I'd make, generally speaking. In sales, all employees need to have a good knowledge of plants, either through a college degree or various certifications. 

A benefit of only having seasonal employees is that "bad" employees aren't rehired, so the people I worked with were, for the most part, hard workers and nice to interact with.

In Glover's Herbaceous department; you get assigned a specific perennial/annual section to care for, trucks arrive and it's time for inventory. Departments communicate to each other through radios, expect to learn some CB slang. The work is all outside(dependent on department) so expect to prepare sunscreen, a raincoat, and a jacket in your car. BRING A REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE. Managers are insanely friendly and a great help when it comes to information regarding specific care, pest/disease treatment, and gardening techniques. The best part of herbaceous was the plethora of knowledge gained; landscaping practices, garden design, soil quality, vegetable gardening, and perennial/annual know-how for guests.

A typical day at Glover Nursery, for me, consists of projects I had yet to finish the previous day. Of course, the customer comes first, so often my other tasks wait. Being at Glover nursery for nearly 10 years I have learned so very much, from simple annuals to what the alkaline in a certain valley works well with what (ex. in Harriman Utah people have secondary water, which is high salt, spruces and many other plants such as dogwoods, Alpine Firs do not tolerate) Many employees and customers come back to Glover Nursery because of the knowledge and "family" that it is known for. I am happy to have spent many great years with the people I have met.

Very fickle company, cliqueish and don't appreciate new ideas or new people. The pay is terrible. And if you want to advance you better get along with the exact right people or person rather or you're not going anywhere in this company except out the door. 

I worked here for 5 years on and off the seasons I like doing what I did all I really did was water plants and help around the nursery with loaded product for people then became head waterer and told the other waterers what to water.

The job is fun and keeps you active, you meet new people and learn a lot. You get to work outside but that means you’ll be working on really hot and really cold days.
Management and coworkers are great people.

I loved working at Glover Nursery. All the employees and management were very kind. They are flexible and willing to help in anyway they can. They're very understanding and want what's best for you. 

I delivered bulk in a small dump truck. Fun job and get to go to hundreds of homes. People are happy when you show up with something to make their yard look better. 

Great people, plants, management. No complaints!  Everyone is happy, great team work. Quality plants, handled properly. Best managed nursery I know of.
