Where to begin. After an extremely long drawn out hiring process which included three interviews, the last of which the VP referred to as “scared straight.” Which was basically a psychological mind game to see if would “crack” under pressure? Either way after about a month and a half I got hired as a production manager. I was to shadow another manager that was leaving the company and that’s where the show began.

Initially the other manager was really nice to me, but it didn’t take long to show his true colors. Once we got one on one he told me that I would never make it within the company, and that the only people that succeed are all above us (VPs). On my first day I was told my schedule was 5:30-2pm. Then I was told that rather than come in at 5:30am that my actual schedule was 3:30am -2:30pm. And that I would be in charge of opening the shop, making coffee, disarm the alarm system, etc. none of this was mentioned during my extensive interviews. After my second day, most of the managers were gone by 1pm and I was left there twiddling my thumbs until the office manager said she was leaving too and needed to lock up.

For the next week and a half I had to endure a hostile work environment with the guy I was shadowing. He constantly told me that I would fail, lose accounts, that none of the managers knew what they were doing and that basically Landcare was a terrible company to work for. I showed up to work several times at 3:30am only to have no one be there, and when managers did show up they were often late. He would get frustrated with me and slam things on his desk, then walk out without saying anything to me then, walk back in upset because I didn’t follow him. 

The crews had no idea what they were doing because they had no direction or ownership of their jobs. They would all stand there in the morning waiting for me to direct them, and I had not even been properly trained yet. I had to give three safety training meetings to employees without even being shown how to give these training meetings! 

All in all Landcare was very disorganized, and the employee that I was assigned to shadow was extremely disgruntled, rude, and did a disservice to the company. Very much a sink or swim type of environment. Would not recommend if you are seeking legitimate career advancement.

Work was hard, but it was wonderful. I came in having to clean up a lot of relationships and build trust on the current clients. Those thrived and kept going. We were short staffed but I had an amazing team that I trusted. We lost a branch manager and production manager who were big assets to the team, but managed to thrive and continue to grow. Eventually when they found another Branch Manager replacement, things started to go down hill. The unprofessional characteristics came out with this change and not to mention the fact that it was towards me and done if front of my clients. The changes happened rapidly, and I was hopeful at first. Then management became rude and non-transparent about jobs. And I knew my time was going to be limited. I was correct- my position was “eliminated”. And it came from the Regional VP not the manager who was the one who wanted me out. The whole interaction was bizarre. I really had so much hope for this job. And believed in the mission and core values. I miss my team, but management made this job unbearable, which put a shame on the Sacramento Region. When I left there was a lot of conflicts of interests, and I doubt the management ever notified my clients of my departure which can be so misleading. All in all, I believe this job could have been wonderful. Upper Management just came too little too late. 


Management always puts the blame on the crews and never takes accountability for poor communication
Management is extremely lazy and never takes leadership to help out the crews when needed 
Management never leads by example. Shows up late and has poor communication even though they expect punctuality and excellent communication from the crew leaders 
No room for growth. Willing to hire outside of the company rather than promote from within even though current employees have more experience then outside hires 
Production manager was never held accountable by branch manager. Always blames the crews instead of taking at last a little accountability

Having worked in many different situations with many different personalities, working at LandCare was such a rewarding and fulfilling experience. The leadership generally cared about employees and were constantly looking for ways to provide resources, training, and opportunities for growth. If someone wasn't performing up to par, I witnessed leadership get involved to try and work with individuals to help them improve performance. It was an amazing environment to grow in and I would highly recommend working here if given the chance.

I left this company because of the poor management. There was no promotions for within. New management and project managers brought in people from other companies. And the people that were brought in were being paid better than the people that had been there already. In short if you work Brown nosy you weren't going anywhere in the company.

Worked here about 6 months in Grand prairie tx. The guys on my crew were cool and for the most part good workers. Management was down to earth and seemed genuine to me. Only negitive is when we needed new machines i pretty much had to beg because it was affecting my job performance. When they did get new machines they ordered pretty much household machines commercial like the ones we had and they didn't run as strong as the echos did.

we would come in and get our trucks ready and go out to our different sites for the day and mow, weed eat, edge the grass and pull weeds.i learned how to operate heavy duty lawn equipment. management was more than fair and they were friendly also. there were mostly migrant workers and i had trouble understanding the language. the hardest part of the job was probably weed eating ditches and the most enjoyable part was getting a lot of sunshine.

LandCare is a company quickly growing that has a great culture.  Great team environment with multiple opportunities for advancement in a career. Many training sessions, customer focused company, compensate fairly, learning environment. If you are looking for a company to challenge you and learn with this is the company to work for.
