Liberty Landscape Supply

I am speaking from the perspective of someone who did not leave disgruntled. It has been long enough for me to reflect on the job. I left because I just couldn't do it anymore. My stress levels were off the charts and my burnout was breaking me. I also had family matters to attend. I was surprised that not a single person, including my supervisor cared to  call or email me when I let them know I was no longer coming back. It was out of character for me. They claimed that I was an extremely valued member of the team then silence. 

The culture is alright. Staff are friendly toward each other. Upper management culture is a different story entirely. Very little support for unachievable tasks being handed down. When you ask for help they say no. When you cant finish by deadlines, they say you should have asked for help and claim they never had the previous conversation where you did. That is just one of many examples I could come up with. 

The pay is not fair wage for the work you are doing. At first it is, but over time they add more and more responsibilities onto your plate and give you hardly any compensation for it. 

You get PTO! unfortunately, you probably wont use it because during busy season you'll be pressured to stay because it's busy season, and during off season you are pressured to stay because employee hours are cut and you are needed there when someone else could have worked the hours. 

I will say that you will learn a LOT. You will learn all about zone 9 plants and sod care. You will learn about routing deliveries, how to drive a front loader tractor, how to estimate quantity of aggregate for square footage, what aggregates are used for, how to plant trees, how to give great customer service, how to up-sale product,  and so much more. After you have learned everything you can, I would suggest moving on. Competitors are willing to pay you much more than Liberty will and you will have less work total. 

There is a pretty high turn over rate because people find other jobs willing to pay more that have AC rather than being in the heat all day. 

The owner Mike is a very humble and knowledgeable person. He was very stern about how operations should be handled but he was fair. He understands what goes on. He spent a decade running a location answering phones, shoveling rock, loading with a tractor, ordering materials, and more. He knows the job and what it takes. 

I was able to build onto my resume with the help of Liberty, so I thank them for that. I was extremely burned out and over stressed. There is no need to stress when you're selling rock and plants. 

I've worked at this company for two and a half years watching it slowly get worse over time. I do not have an issue with any coworkers or assistant management, or even the job duties themselves. The main issue is with the general manager, and to a lesser extent, the owner. After two raises, I was making the same pay as new hires, and the GM is the only person who can approve raises. Any mistakes are forwarded to the GM who will belittle you and make you feel worthless. There is no training process for the sales system, and there is also no scanner. Every item has to be manually typed in. It is complex, and the only way you will learn how to use it is through training with other coworkers. Half the time you are completely stuck on what to do next, and end up calling for help for a problem you have never learned the ins and outs of, wasting time that could have been used to help out other customers. To add on to this, most problems are never actually fixed. At every company meeting, ideas and issues are brought up with the GM who says that they're going to work on it, or that it's on the radar. Nothing actually gets done. The sales building has no A/C and has to resort to two box fans during the summer. The greenhouses need spot watering as the irrigation lines are faulty. Tools and equipment are either broken, soon to be broken, or on a job site. It is incredibly difficult to do your duties to the best of your ability when you feel that they will never be good enough. The culture has gone from a fun family oriented business to a corporate sellout. The owner keeps wanting to expand and seek new locations without fixing any of the older ones, and gravitates towards projects that would make his company look good. 

Liberty Landscape Supply is a fantastic company and genuinely cares about employees and customers. Every nursery consistently seeks and drives improvement opportunities and monitors implementation daily.  

The owner is passionate about culture, employee career development, and ensuring team members are empowered to take care of our customers in every capacity. I have spotted a few employees that are likely not a cultural fit but in all, my colleagues across all locations are awesome! 

Benefits are great here at Liberty, retirement match is better than other companies I’ve worked at in Jax, time off is generous and typically always approved. 

Although we work hard from the time we arrive to when we leave, work-life balance is important and supported by leadership; a great work ethic is recognized and rewarded. Liberty is a great company for career growth, and I highly recommend to candidates seeking a company where they will feel a true sense of purpose.  

If you enjoy walking on eggshells, not being paid enough but high expectations, this is the place for you. They continue to pile work on you, pull you in 50 different directions and still want more but don't bother to pay well at all. There's a lot of turn over too. You barely get praised for doing a good job but you will get yelled at if you mess up. Lots of false promises. The idea that if you work harder, you will get noticed and be up for a promotion. The company will shoot down any ideas. It went from being fun to feeling unbelievably stressful. They want you to just do your job and not complain, not have an opinion. If you don't came in, no one calls to see if you're OK. Truthfully, everyone there is replaceable and not valued. It's sad. I definitely didn't see any room for advancement. There is some amazing employees there and others that are back stabbers or like to start rumors. It's like middle school. Run far away. It's not worth it. They will probably accuse you of doing wrong when it's someone else that messed up. They play favorites.

Job wasn’t bad but management is horrible! They have too much work for the amount of managers, and they don’t fix issues with the trucks. 
I was saying for weeks the truck needed repairs, putting this in my pre AND post trip & nothing was done. When the truck’s engine finally blew as I was driving, I was blamed and let go. 
Outside of that, typical landscaping job planting trees

A typical day at work is unloading beautiful plant material and merchanting. Even though I have been in the business a while I learn something different every day. My Management team here is amazing. I plan on retiring from this company.

This company was one of the best opportunities in management I had, I hated to leave this company. Sometimes as adults and parents we have to make decisions we normally wouldn't make on our own. Lets just say my children and family come first. If I was able too and my kids could have come to Florida, I would still be with this company today.

I was very excited about the company initially but it isn't what I was told. They don't put customers first like they say, and they put the employees even farther back. Your manager doesn't go to bat for you.
