The most enjoyable part of the job was properly maintaining the plants and providing knowledge of various plants to customers willing to acquire the knowledge. I learned proficient organizational skills. A typical work day was arriving at work to my nearest store by 8AM, no later. I first compile and culled the prior plants, to maximize space for incoming shipments. I then continue to properly water the plants, consumed as needed. It typically can take up to two whole hours to completely and efficiently water the products. Then made my way to the next store ,specified directly from management, and would typically grab lunch in-between stores. Arriving to next store I would compline and cull the prior plants, to allow incoming shipments room. If store plants were not watered prior that morning I would check to see if any employees could assist me on putting out as much CC Mobility racks that was shipped to needed stores. During specific seasons I tended to hit two stores a day due to the desired work needed. During fall season, product is slow, but due to a wonderful work environment and the bond you grow with each store on a daily basis to train and assist employees on properly maintaining our plant products for efficient sales and a happy customer.

I've worked for several growers and this company by far is the most organized and informative. They keep you updated on what to expect down the road regarding various product & shipments and are willing to listen to your feedback on what you think would sell better at one store that may not do so good at another.
  I was given several weeks worth of my "in store hours" on my first day, so i was well aware when "peak season" would hit as well as when to expect my hours to slowly decline. 
Currently I cover several locations, and have NEVER had issues with being reimbursed for my time and mileage. 
  My RM was super nice, i felt like i could talk to or ask him anything without feeling like it's a dumb question or bad idea. He may not be around often due to the territory he covers, but stays in touch daily. If there's a day that I don't have to call him for anything, he will still call either at end of day or next morning just to check in to make sure everything was/is going okay with me.

I was hired at the beginning of march as seasonal merchandiser. I worked 2 Owensboro stores and sometimes helped at others. Was paid drive time and mileage and learned allot from my lead manager. Was able to work around my babysitter's schedule when the daycare closed due to Covid-19. Was a really relaxed environment and even though work was hard on delivery dates my lead manager usually tried to come to the stores to help me get product out, then i could spend the next few days perfecting everything before next delivery. If i did do something wrong she would show me how to properly do it without me feeling like an idiot and always told me when it looked great which made me always want to do even better next time around. She even submitted pictures of a couple of special displays i did to her regional boss for special presentations they had weekly. Could call her anytime and if she didn't answer always called right back within few minutes.  

Wonderful,peaceful days. A lil stress during holidays and beginning of Spring season. Was given freedom to explore setup,display creation. Interaction w some store locations not always positive  have to coax space etc. Mostly positive interactions throughout each store. Best employers I have had in years. Heavy workload for pay offered. Ability to travel set own hours between set standard.  Loved the freedom to just work.. stores were not as helpful as they should be towards reaching goals on their part. Not much help w watering,unloading,maintaining displays and plants but we're getting better as things progressed. Highly recommend different standards to be set for various locations participation to common goals ex: the maintaining of plants,communication and various duties to ensure a standard for excellence.  But overall a great company to work for.

This company is full of it. I was hired on a full time employee. My second day I got a pay raise and bumped up a position. It was suspicious to me that many people were being laid off, but it was told to me that my job would be secure. Working constantly in the heat can be tiring and it’s constant wear and tear on your vehicle having to drive to each location. About a month and a half into the job, I was told 3 days before that this would be my last week. No notice nothing. This company used me to clear out the unwanted plants and to get the stores up to par then when I was no longer needed they dumped me just like everyone else. I’m not some kid just needing a job through the summer, I’m an adult with bills. I would not recommend anyone to this company. Whoever is running this needs to step down and realize that you are affecting people’s lives!!!!

No way to advance. One raise in five years. Not worth the wear and tear on your vehicle that you are required to use to go destinations sometimes over two hours away. Very physical. Management is all about themselves. Some hours or money needs to be cut, you will GO!  Your job hinges on if Walmart wants to pay this company for so many employees and hours. Not fair about who has been there the longest. You will be expected to attend and socialize once or twice a year and if you do not, well.  They make their rules as they go by way of favoritism.  From the regional managers up it's easy street. You are the GRUNT and will be treated as such.  No overtime unless you are "special"

They expect you to work in all elements of weather with no help, dealing with Walmart management on a daily is brutal. They don't pay well, benefits are horrible, management has smart mouths. Don't waste your time unless you like being taken advantage of because they make promises that they choose not to keep. You will run your vehicle in the ground with the territory you're expected to cover weekly and only get paid .32 cents per mile.
