Yellowstone-Landscape

The work environment at this branch was very difficult and, lacked professionalism. There appeared to be a strong presence of family members working in management and supervisory roles, which often created the perception of favoritism and made many employees uncomfortable speaking up about workplace concerns.
Communication and management practices felt outdated, and employees were frequently frustrated by issues related to payroll, scheduling, and overall treatment in the field. Many workers felt concerns were not taken seriously, and there was fear of retaliation when reporting problems.
Morale at this location was very low, and I believe the company should review leadership practices, employee relations, and oversight at this branch to ensure a fair and respectful workplace for everyone.


My experience working at Yellowstone involved ongoing challenges related to both the work environment and management. During the colder months, the warehouse often lacked consistent heat, making conditions uncomfortable and difficult for production employees.

I also had concerns about the physical work environment. Certain areas of the building, including basement workspaces in an older facility, had limited ventilation, which negatively affected my comfort and overall experience at work.

From my perspective, management communication and employee support were lacking. Interactions with newer management based in Chicago frequently felt dismissive rather than supportive, which contributed to feeling undervalued as an employee.

Overall, I believe the company would benefit from meaningful facility improvements and stronger on-site leadership that prioritizes respect, clear communication, and employee well being.

I really enjoyed working at Yellowstone and would probably still be there had they not changed the reporting location from Johns Island (10 min from my home) to North Charleston. Full time is considered 32+ hours with decent benefits being offered. My immediate supervisor was easy-going and supportive and I found most co-workers a joy to work with. My job was listed under "Spray Technician" but really should have had its own job title.  I maintained perrenial flower beds and containers at client locations. This involved weeding, deadheading, watering and fertilizing. I loved working in the fresh air (though the heat could be a bit much), being entrusted with a company truck and to set my own work plan. I did not agree with the extreme start time of 6a, when it was still dark out, especially since the work I had to do was on a smaller scale than the maintenance crews. I'm not sure that this particular job is still being offered at Yellowstone.

What is the best part of working at the company?
it was just a job you could never expect to make that place a career they promised you the world and never delivered on anything

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
working in the heat in the environment they always talk to a good game about safety but never help or pushed the safety programs

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
the people that work there were just hard-working individuals from all different cultures management however was out to cut your throat as soon as they could

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
arriving to work having to get out within 15 minutes of arrival to be at the first location at daybreak mow clean pick up as fast as possible move to the next job like a production job

Horrible culture. Company is large and you are just another number. Management is biased toward certain team members, allowing them to wreck company vehicles while intoxicated, and then sweep the whole incident under the rug.  

10 times out of 10 this company is the most expensive service, but the performance of the maintenance service provided rarely matches, and leads to unhappy customers who do not want to renew, or terminate the contract early.  When potential customers would balk at the high quotes, some businesses developers would then offer a quote from their personal residential landscaping service to undercut and steal the business.  Customers thought that was a very shady way to operate, and wouldn’t sign a contract with either. 

Will find the smallest of reason(s) to not allow you to get end of year bonus. Getting a raise is very rare. They pay crew leaders the same as regular laborer. Expect hard work ethic for 8-12 hours on big commercial properties with 2 man crew and expect you to accomplish multiple tasks. Management is a scam and does NOT care about all employees. Hard work goes unnoticed. This job is nothing but a stress pit. Appears like good company to work for but really is a circus. Been with company for 3 years and just now getting raise(Maybe)

great team work and a very productive company. always informative in safety. management always open to talk to weather job related or advancement concerns. Co-workers are family oriented and very hard working, when it comes to helping and following safety regulations. the most enjoyable part would be productivity and the creative process. hardest part of the job would be the down time during  winter. Great place to gain a ton of experience but do to the lack of benefits and limited growth. I would only recommend it for stepping stone job until you break into a career of you preference.

The typical day is normal, especially as a mechanic. Change into uniform, clock in, work. Management is not great with communication. Parts do NOT get steadily ordered as needed. A lot of old machines, trucks, and skid loaders. A lot of custom fabrication needed to fix units. Work place culture is rough, all employees who bring in units expect them to be fixed immediately but that is not always the case. Machines get very much abused and so a lot of repair is usually needed.

Working for Yellowstone landscape I learned how to operate basic landscape machinery in just the short time I worked there. I liked how the management actually got out there and worked with their employees. However you basically need be able to speak spanish in order to communicate with the co workers. The hardest part of the job is when the heat is beating down on you and you really just wanna give up and sit down but you finish the task at hand anyway. On the contrary, at the end of the day when you look back down the road and see all your hard work and how beautiful it looks, it wasn't so bad.

Management will lie to you about "guaranteed hours" and overtime. Started me at 50+ hours a week then cutt me back to 40 3 weeks later. The shop is a disaster and the "head mechanic" just disappears as he pleases and I get reprimanded for bringing it up that I'm the only one there most days.
