Greenworks Tools

A typical day starts and finishes being a punching bag for managers and above and the Home Improvement company head quartered just down the street.

Greenworks Tools has high a very high turnover rate and it is not simply due to growing pains of a young company.  Poor management in all areas and all managers and above appear to have personal agendas vs. working collectively towards common solutions/goals. Lots of politics and gossip is embedded in Greenworks' culture with is part of its problem.

Trendy office space and decent resources are available for work. However, one should not get too comfortable as there are a few employees that tend to be watching and reporting to the HR person/manager/director.

The most challenging part of the job is the constant turnover and always having to change direction mid way through a project or initiative...This was just very counterproductive and completely wasted my time.

Nothing very enjoyable about this company. Most of the employees are friendly though and seem to respect that company progress was trying to be achieved.

I interviewed for a job with this company and was actually offered the job. At the time, I was very excited to start working with them. The job sounded great, the people seemed great, and it looked like a great career opportunity.

However, this company then had to freeze all new hires due to certain corporate mandates. I was informed of this situation and decision AFTER I had left my stable, decently-paying job that required a 30-days notice.

While I don't blame the local hiring team for this (they were very apologetic; it wasn't like they could have known this would happen), the company left me and my family in a dire situation. It caused immense financial hardship that we still have not fully recovered from. I would be cautious about applying to a company that makes employment offers and waits until you have no safety net to inform you that the job will not be proceeding.

From the moment I walked in, it was clear I was being thrown into the fire without a single ounce of support. The sales goals were completely out of touch with reality—massive numbers, zero preparation. No decent leads, no marketing push, not even the basic tools to do the job right.

But when the targets weren’t hit, guess who got the blame? I was dragged into pointless meetings just to be interrogated and picked apart, as if I were the problem. No one wanted to hear the truth—that the system was flawed, the support was nonexistent, and success was impossible under those conditions. If you're considering working here, prepare to be abandoned and blamed for everything that goes wrong.

The pay is disgraceful compared to the relentless mountain of work forced on employees. Expectations are outrageous, pushing people beyond their limits, and management uses threats of firing as a weapon to bully staff into submission. This is outright exploitation that grinds employees down day after day. The only lifeline in this place is the support of my coworkers. Without their encouragement and solidarity, the unbearable stress would have broken me completely. 

You'll get "promoted" with no raise. A good place to build a resume. Not a place to try & retire. You can move up quickly by showing initiative. Even if you have no experience whatsoever. Unlimited overtime during high season, high turn over rate for management. No work life balance, no raises with promotions. Layoffs happen often. Work environment is transitioning to militant style culture . 

Don't work here. Working at a place where the most basic supplies were not available was ridiculous. Need packing tape? You couldn't find any because none had been ordered and / or other employees were hoarding it. Not enough forklifts for those who needed them to complete a task. Unless you are ex military you will not make it at this company. For a " green " company they sure send a lot to the landfill. Not even aluminum recycle bin in the canteen. These issues don't even scratch the surface. You had better get used to the filthy language used by upper management to work here.

Was hired as a temp for "quality" in actuality I took things apart, replace something and then put it back together it was simple enough. I was late twice and then let go, the supervisor was very rude upon arriving late she blurted out "your late". I simply walked over to my station without a word she spoke louder this time "YOUR LATE" it took every fiber of my being not to call her out of name. I apologized and worked my shift and then got a call afterwards saying they have ended my contract.

The constant tension and unreasonable demands inflicted by the chairperson drained my enthusiasm for my work. No matter how much effort I poured into projects, my contributions felt underappreciated and overlooked. It became clear that respect and acknowledgment were far from priorities, turning even the smallest tasks into battles. The toxic dynamic eroded any sense of fulfillment, leaving frustration the only certainty.

The manager’s behavior was astonishingly disrespectful. He would look straight past employees as if we were invisible or cut us off the moment we tried to speak or explain anything. In his mind, a simple mistake meant you deserved to be talked down to, as if one slip erased every bit of hard work you ever gave. No effort was ever enough. His outlook was painfully narrow, his attitude overbearing, and his presence drained any sense of fairness or dignity from the workplace.

The workloads during peak seasons were unbearable, a nonstop grind that drained every ounce of energy I had. The pressure was relentless, the hours dragged on forever, and the exhaustion was beyond anything I had ever experienced in any other job. There was no relief, no sense of balance, just a constant push to the breaking point. I deeply regret ever working here and would warn anyone to stay far away before making the same mistake.
