Natural Way Lawn and Tree

     Having worked in the industry at multiple different lawn care companies, I feel that Natural Way has been by far the best! Natural Way has a setup that corrected a lot of the problems I faced working elsewhere. 
     They have reasonable daily production goals that anyone can hit, when you have problems outside your control and can't hit your goal, they are understanding and don't hold it against you. If you want to do more than what's expected of you, they always have plenty of work ready for you.
     They also have an excellent attitude toward equipment, they fix it as soon as its broken. I've worked places where they give you a roll of duck tape and say "good luck". That is a welcome change of pace. 
      The pay is hourly + time and a half for overtime + commision. I've worked places where they took overtime pay out of your commision earnings or found other similar ways to penalize you based on hours worked. At Natural Way they don't do any of that. As far as production commission is concerned, if you are doing the bare minimum, you're still doing enough to earn some commission. Motivated people can make a lot of extra money.  
    No workplace is perfect, but I feel like Natural Way has the right attitude and culture and are trying to solve problems and be fair with people. Can't really ask for more than that.

Typical day is sitting in front of a computer for 6 hours with a strictly observed 10 minute break every 2 hours. Work is drop dead boring, and I'm not going to do something like this again personally. Work culture is very casual and laid back, and the office has small "parties" during the workday for holidays. Coworkers are nice, but it's a very "bros" atmosphere everywhere besides the administration office.

Computer Problems were rampant:  un-updated software causing company wide crashes with no internet access, and the program used by the entire company including measurements would crash on me and others daily. This eventually affected our performance. If you are assigned large properties to measure, even though being thorough is encouraged, you are expected to complete it in the same amount of time as a property 400x smaller. 

They accommodated my sensitivity to fluorescent lighting and when I went through a medication change they allowed me to come into work at a more flexible time (as it affected my ability to sleep, and I had to morning shift)

Natural Way has great benefits and makes you feel appreciated and valued as an employee.  They pay you for three rain days in which we can't work. I have worked in multiple areas of the company and each area has its benefits. The hardest part of the job depends on the position you have. For Production it is probably dealing with being out in the elements.  For the office staff it is multitasking while taking customer calls. The people you work with make it worthwhile. Everyone is kind and respectful to each other. It really feels like a team here!

Seasonal company where it's go go go in spring time. Compared to the industry there is more emphasis on doing the right thing, using the right products, not cheating the customer. Commissions are high, but some routes are better than others. All of my managers were promoted from entry level, and the most recent this year. The hardest part of the job is the weather.

Day starts at 7 am and work till at least 3:30 make sure you take a lunch because its automatically deducted.
 Not much room for advancement here due to the company size and politics within.
 Management is so so, always room for improvement.
Co workers are friendly.

Working for Natural way lawn and tree care was great for a time then it was good, after a few more changes it was still a decent job, but over time companies change. I made some decent money during the spring even with multiple changes to the pay structure.

This is a numbers based company.  They want quality work, but with the 35+ stops a day you're expected to complete, quality go's out the window. They only seem to care about the bottom line. The only way to survive this company is if you have a good route. Management kinda sucked when I was there.

Natural way is very laid back. If you are getting your work done you won’t really hear from anyone in management, just your typical stuff. You get your own work van/truck, and machine to work with. You work alone and make your own hours pretty much, show up to work on time, knock jobs out and go home. Simple

Natural Way is a great place to work. There is a ton of support and no one is left behind. Natural Way offers a great training opportunity to new hires who have no industry experience. The atmosphere is great and it is like one big family that helps each other out. 

The no work life balance takes a toll on the employees. You work every Saturday so you never have time for yourself or family. You will stop enjoying being outside working for them
