Landscape Forms, Inc

Without question THE WORST Place I'll ever work...

Despite having 20 years of PC Building Experience, and 5 years Shipping and Handling, also despite being entirely honest with Management, I was not placed in assembly and handling, or shipping, I was placed in the INTENSELY physical hang side due to my physical build. It's Dark, It's loud, everyone hates it, nobody stays, it's dirty, it's unsafe....Nobody cares about you...It will be the most thankless job I will ever have.

The pay EXTREMELY low for the work if you are placed on the hang side, for all other sides it's low but somewhat reasonable if you account the basic "Retention" bonus they give you for staying...They give you the money they should be giving you the entire time at quarterly "Bonuses" that they control the amount and whether or not you get it entirely. 

The hours are TERRIBLE if you're placed on third shift. Be ready to give up your entire life, social, professional, hobby, whatever, throw it away.

Things were okay at first, til eventually I was injured on the job. 

That's when the nightmare started.

The Blob in charge of safety actually sat there with a smile on their face the night I was injured, along side the Blob in charge of the night shift group...There is no lonelier feeling for than trying to describe how much you care about your health to two people that have TRULY...OBVIOUSLY....NEVER cared about their own...Their game had begun..I was called in IMMEDIATELY while on muscle relaxers and left to stumble about the plant, tripping over line supports and skids, surely slowing healing and SURELY dangerous...Within a few days, the Managers "Toe-Suckers" were watching me trying to see if there was a way to just outright fire me. When that wasn't enough, the head blob tried to put me back on the line BEFORE I'D EVEN VISITED THE DOCTOR FOR A FOLLOW UP...Cruel...Yep, but ultimately it was just a ploy to get me to ignore my own Doctors orders...So they could fire me...

7 weeks I was left alone in this situation...Trying not to be fired... I never missed a day of work. Not one. I complied with Doctors orders and never even showed up a day late. I received AMAZING marks on my 60 day review and by all intents and purposes was a great employee worth keeping.

Eventually I tried to call the safety blobs supervisor for help...Angry Blob...Angry Blob had such social poor social and business skills that he was more concerned with the fact that I was frustrated in my voicemail, than the fact that he'd left someone ENTIRELY unsuited for the task in his wake....I was put into contact with workmans comp...FINALLY...AFTER SEVEN WEEKS!!! Then fired exactly 5 days later for leaving "That unhelpful voicemail" that ACTUALLY put me in contact with Workmans Comp.

After a lengthy process with Workmans Comp....I'm stuck with the bill from being injured in their shop. Injured for the rest of your life? That'll be $600!!!

Wouldn't recommend this place unless I hated you.

Worst job I'll ever have.

First and foremost, I love(d) my LFI work family. Those people were there for being during my darkest time. When I first started, everything was great. Supervisor was awesome...very approachable, and personable. Supervisor was supervising two departments, so an outsider was hired for woodshop. Supposedly, everyone loved him, had "years of leadership experience. " Everyone in 3rd shift woodshop was scared to talk to him. The best nights were when he took off. He never helped out at times when we got busy. At the end of my time at LFI, upper management got obsessed with quantity. Quality started to suffer. Also, I got fired for "being on cell phone to much. And safrty hazard to coworkers. " ask anyone in 3rd shift woodshop and they will tell you I was well loved amd I got stuff done. LFI doesn't show any love back...they will find a way to legally fire you. 

m-th 4 10's
high school drama filled work environment
What I learned is they under pay their employees. Their manufaturing process leaders are very underpaid with what they do on a daily basis.
culture is their prerogative but don't see how all work areas culture is different and want to put blame on one individual that can't solve everything by themselves. they go against quality standards to get product out to customers.
Hardest part is not having the support needed to succeed and are a company whose upper management are so detached from the day-to-day operations that they don't understand what's going on with in their facilities, and don't have the correct people in place in some of the roles.
most enjoyable working with the individuals I got to work with 

Sadly, once upon a time it was a fun place to work and the culture was great. Since the death of the owner, the culture has completely went out the window. If you're the type of person that can put on a smile and good attitude 100% of the time, you may like this job. If you are realistic in any fashion, know your worth, or expect more if you're doing more, you will hate this place. Not a place that rewards hard work, as much as they reward a good attitude and just being there and saying yes. You will be rewarded based on the company's perception of your attitude. For example, I was doing something that requires certification and was not being paid for it. So when I brought it up, it was made to be my fault and I had a "bad attitude" for wanting the certification and raise that comes with the title. Very toxic, mostly family and friends in management. The one good thing I can say is the benefits are nice there.

I was originally lead on by the promise of decent pay, a work area that seemed decent, and 4 10s. But now that I’m in the thick of it I realize that Landscape forms really isn’t anything outside the ordinary for a pretty bad industry. The 4 10 schedule does not exist outside of the first few weeks. The factory floor is absolutely disgusting grime and filth are climbing the walls and infest the equipment. Every machine is in a state of disrepair and break frequently and it’ll be up to you to pick up the slack because they can’t spend any money for extra equipment. Meanwhile, the front office and exterior is the definition of bougie and management has food catered for every meeting, but at least they let you pick through the scraps. You’ll probably find a good fit here if you have a degree or can’t aspire to anything higher than corporate serf.

Profit sharing checks and the pension excellent also if you get the rightmpl they like to see you advance into something you want to do great insight on description when learning on your midlink onboarding process I had exceeding expectations on all employee work review in my 90 went to prison over a firearm (not mine) and tried telling them before I missed a day and was terminated so I communicated and haven't been able to get them to look my way again so don't get fired and go for rehire 

I loved working for Landscape. Everyone was absolutely amazing and the culture there was very laid back and playful at times. The only problem I had was I had just moved here from another state and I am a single mother. I had a couple of instances with my son where I would have to take off and either pick him up early from school or take a day off. even though I provided Dr.s notes they were not recognized. They are overall a wonderful place to work but are very strict on the attendance policy no matter how good you are at your job.

LFI only wants workers who will work their 6am-4:30pm schedule, they are abolishing the flex schedule. This means no adjustments can be made to accommodate childcare and etc. HR is highly uninformed and illiterate in benefits and accommodations. I did take pride in my work and enjoyed the fine details, but they do not give you the correct training or resources to complete your tasks. I have noticed they would rather have emotionally unintelligent workers than workers who can think for themselves.

A bonus isn't added guaranteed pay. That's how this company thinks it works. Getting paid well under 5 bucks for the same job somewhere else to "possibly" get a solid bonus is not worth the idiocy of management. Telling me to tell other employees that they aren't doing their work is avoiding doing their own jobs. I'm not their supervisor, you are. Left once offered a job paying $5 more an hour which took me less than 2 weeks to obtain. Pass on this garbage company unless desperate
