Horrible place to work.  Good place to start as a new driver but don’t expect much in pay.  The hourly may seem good but when you add up the actual hours it’s not worth it.  The benefits are the worse I’ve seen you have to pay over $600 a month for medical for a family and over $150 a month for dental.  On top of that there’s a $5000 deductible.  They treat you good when they need you but when they don’t good luck.  No communication for the drivers ever.  You never know what’s going on in the company.  Good luck with trying to get time off during spring and you’ll have to work weekends when they tell you.  Don’t listen to what HR tells you they tell you what you want to hear not the truth.

So this company is a family owned business and they do care about their drivers. They want to make sure you can do the job and not kill yourself because when it's busy in the spring time you can often work 10-14 hours a day until it slows down. And when it slows down they will try to find you some kind of work even if it's not driving but they can only do so much. The OT was fantastic. As long as you deliver your load, they don't really care how you get it done as long as you're safe doing it. You are the face of the company when you get to the customer and the customers are usually happy to see you.

When you work for a company that produces the #1 Plant Brand and you’re surrounded by these beautiful plants how can you not love your job! Pleasant View Gardens values their employees. They invest in their employees and promote from within. If you show initiative and work hard it doesn’t go unnoticed. I love my job, the people I work with and the environment I work in. If you are passionate about plants and want to work with others that are too then this is the company for you!

Pleasant View has a fun, family culture that contributes to high moral, even during the busy season. In my own position, I’m constantly being challenged and given tasks that keep me on my toes. My manager encourages me to think outside the box and provides a relaxed and friendly atmosphere to allow my creativity to flow – something that makes me continually feel valued not only within my department but within the company as a whole. The days are never dull and I truly enjoy what I do!

PVG was once a great place to work, but sadly they have grown to a size where management now has a "big box store" approach to things.  Employees are not valued, and are treated simply as cogs in the wheel.  Favoritism is rampant around scheduling.  Many employees who were with the company for a long time have chosen to move on.  If a wholesome environment is what you are looking for, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Overloaded underpaid and under appreciated are the order of the day here.
Very tense between management and employees.  Employees are overloaded with 2 or more jobs then reprimanded and threatened for not accomplishing goals.  No fun at such a beautiful location.  Surrounded by beautiful flowers outside, 1970’s decor inside with old cubicles and unhappy, nervous, worried faces occupying them.

Pleasant View was an incredible place to work. I was promoted to management within a couple years. If you work hard and care they will put enormous value on you and your skills.

Although loved the people I worked with, the hardest part of the job was the office was busy and loud making it very difficult to concentrate at times.

*Typical day at work-hot, hummid and redundant.
*What I learned-don't believe anything HR says about company.
*Managemant-too many chiefs.
*Workplace culture-everybody is out for themselves.
*Hardest part of the job-management.
*Most enjoyable part of the job-leaving at the end of the shift.

It's a halfway decent job, I can't come up with any real complaints. They accept new drivers fresh out of school. Some of the deliveries are tight locations and the work environment in the warehouse is very dry atmosphere and not a lot of people speak English but other than that I don't really have any complaints.

Extreme temperature  changes from greenhouse to greenhouse.  Exposure to many different pesticides, herbicides, fungicides along with other chemicals. Many Multicultural and Non English speaking co-workers that sometimes makes it super difficult to get stuff done.
