Gotham Greens

My first few months at this company was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful. After my 90 days everything changed. Everyone there cuts corners(drop product on floor? it's ok if no one sees it).Once I saw a coworker washing his body in the packhouse sink infront of management who didn't say anything. Also spitting in the greenhouse. Management tells you one thing at the beginning of the day then half way thru the day tells you "youre doing it wrong!."(and belittle you infront of your coworkers). If you try to come up with new ideas to make the work more fun and easy they would shoot it down. They also hire supervisors who have never worked in a greenhouse and lie on their resume to get the job. Same supervisor didnt know how to run a greenhouse. He would take out his own problems on the greenhouse workers. If you sit down for more then 5 minutes(because it 100+ degrees) you'd get talked to be said supervisor about setting a bad example for others. Management always said they would come out and help if you ask, but the never did. I love working in this feild but working for this company has made me really rethink about it. DON'T WORK FOR GOTHAM GREENS
P.S. There are so many more things from with this company but i dont wanna waste my engery. But i will say this for every year you work for them you get 1 paid day off

Management fails to include crucial details about the job such as mandatory overtime (which was never disclosed to me during my interview, as well as several other employees interviews.) If you apply to a certain position you might not even be working at that position, as the facility is understaffed and others are constantly needed to fill in for someone, leading to you doing work that you are not supposed to be doing, which then leads to you permanently filling that spot, with you having no say in the matter. Management is rude and quick to catch an attitude for questioning anything, taking the slightest pushback as "insubordination." Machinery is constantly breaking down which leads to pointless busywork, such as needless cleaning. Management is quick to single out employees if they show any signs of prior "insubordination" (i.e. socializing too much.) Overall, this "greenhouse" is a glorified factory. The pay is tempting, but if you want to keep your sanity, do not work here.

You typical first day will most likely start at 8 am, with easy wokr so they can gauge you

2nd day if at 6 am, and then they will tell you your ultimate position wether that be a harvester,packer or whatever else you applied for. 
i for instance applied for the packhouse, then was told i was going to be a runner which i didnt even understand until they explained that basically i will take charge of everyone elses job if it isnt being done. so a very stressful job. 

and then the was when they told me i needed to be present at work at the earliest of 3 am. which i didnt even know they were open that early, but here i am. 

moral of the story, dont work for these guys if you know what you are worth. and a 15 hour shift making 15 an hour aint worth the mental and physical stress youll be put through. just go work construction at that point 

My typical day would include coming in at 615 am and check if we had hair nets or gloves if we had them in stock I would wash my hands put the correct ppe on and start stocking the containers around so others had all they need. Once that was stocked I would have to go to the dry storage climb other stacks of pallets to reach certain containers Because management refused to buy a Osha approved latter and when you ask for help you either get ignored or lied to. Can't take a day off for appointments without being threatened to be fired management like to bully single mothers and play favorites makes you stay there way past specified hours and still want you to come in early they don't let you use the bathroom without getting in trouble they don't proved water in very hot areas even cold areas they work you so hard in the cooler you get heat exhaustion a.d when you leave to get water to many times you get in trouble they segregate people they dont pay you your full wages of you work over time just don't work there it's the worst job ever 

Being a life-long soil farmer I expected a cool, and fun working environment. Management sucks, fellow coworkers are arrogant nu-hipsters, and are generally incompetent. Depending on which greenhouse you’re at, you may be working at an out-of-date crumbling greenhouse. Or, you could be working at a beautiful brand new one, using the same mediocre operations plan as the undesirable greenhouses just with worse management. Not to mention the in-your-face display of disparate work/pay of having the corporate offices there. With the greenhouse assistants underpaid doing grueling manual labor in extreme conditions, and HR/Media employees running a subpar ad campaign reaping the benefits of a pure corporate culture. It’s unfortunate but GG is no longer a startup, and nothing more than another capitalistic venture started by an already wealthy team of individuals. If you’re willing to sell your soul, give it a shot!

Worked here for nearly 3 years, the advancement opportunities I was given  were very good in my opinion, as well as the work life balance. Overtime is mandatory, however I was virtually never contacted outside of work. Any job inside of the  greenhouse is somewhat physically demanding, in a hot environment, but this should be expected and was not an issue. The work atmosphere during my time there was generally very friendly inside of each department. The turnover rate is high though and that can make it difficult to build a strong team.
My main concern with the environment was a general lack of consistency, the standards that the employees are expected to follow (everything from equipment sanitation, rules regarding PTO, crop quality, etc.) changed frequently, often without warning, or would vary between what was discussed, and the written SOP. 
In general, I think the job is a good fit for someone wants a career in manufacturing, but I would not recommend it to someone who is interested because of a passion for plants/farming.

I was hired to work on a Thursday and started the following Monday. I was offered a part time position once production was underway. After 90 days probation was up, part time was no longer on the table. Zero paid personal time after working weeks of 10 to 11 hour shifts. No opportunity for advancement and no consideration for wage increases for a year, and then it would be considered. Work environment was hazardous at times. No protection from the Sun, it is a glass box after all. I was a passionate hard worker, excited to be apart of a sustainable food industry only to realize that Gotham does not value employees and their sustainability is very questionable with the amount of waste accumulated daily. 

A typical day at work would consist of your manager nagging you the entire shift. you must be able to stand for SEVERAL hours with the exception of one 45 minute break. the management is incredibly inconsiderate and the company overall does not care about you or the product they are selling. during my time there I witnessed the supervisor being rude to majority of the packers with the exception of her favorites. if you have a life outside of work please do yourself a favor and DO NOT APPLY. you will not be able to leave early, ask for days off, or anything involving you not being at work. this company WILL over work you. the schedule is all over the place, some days you'll work 5 hours and other 12+ which is not steady. The manager on sight is ignorant and doesn't  believe in anyones opinion besides her own. do yourself a favor and look elsewhere, also DO NOT support this company they sell horrible product.

Over worked underpaid and terribly managed. 20% of workers do 80% and 80% does 20%, no clear direction on management and no attemps to solve problems. Managers, shug things off, spin situations and have also straight up lied to me and others. Hard work does not pay off. Also terrible communication though out management, no one is on the same page, some managers or leads get important information until the last minute. There is no respect or care from the workers in regards to respecting management. Mostly people just put up with things due to their lack of faith in them. 

It is exciting to be a part of a company that is rapidly growing, giving myself and my coworkers a lot of opportunities to grow our careers. i have seen a lot of my peers, and myself be able to grow and learn while i have been here.

Although the company is rapidly expanding and it is really exciting, that means that there is a lot of change and updates to the company as we grow. you have to think on your feet and continually be looking to improve policies/operations. For me, this is something i enjoy and continually keeps me engaged. I love it! But with this means Gotham Greens is looking for employees who have this type of work ethic and drive. i work with some of the best people out there! I love my job, my coworkers, and Gotham Greens mission.
