Not only are the job postings lies but if you manage to get into this company you will be beaten into the ground with work. Get ready to be gas lighted about every little thing you do whether its about your clients or being given another persons job entirely. You will be expected to do at least 2 others jobs besides your title and not get a raise out of it. Be prepared to be worked to the bone for 12+ hours 6 days a week while having to track every 15 minutes of what you are doing and rate how important it is so management can come harass you about wasting time. Then you get to be told to do sketchy things that is a grey zone of whether its legal or not. If you are still crazy enough to take this job be sure to get everything written on paper and not get threatened into signing contracts. Also know you will not get a raise unless it is to his standard so prepare to go years without a raise but get double the work and double the stress. Overall this job caused me so much mental stress and I wish for no one to experience the same. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST. 

toxic, place, horribly  place, owners do not care about you, management does bot care about you, under paid , pay taken away at whenever management decides, not paid for work done. sent home for no reason, even with work to be done. extremely toxic work environment to be in everyday, company hires and fires staff everyday. there is no job security, there is no family or home life. pay changes every day, hourly rate changes everyday, management does whatever it wants to make staff cry and be upset all the time. being unsettled to work with others there very poor never knowing what you are to do every minute you are there. very long term staff over 10 years leaving because of management and owners, not supporting. of trying to listen to the staff, when they have question, they are told, its my way or just quit we can always find another to replace you. 

A typical day at Green Tree,  lacks organization and communication.  I learned The reviews you read here are all truth, not angry employees just honest people giving honest reviews.
 They have no Safety Program, and horribly maintained equipment and vehicles. The management team (owners) know nothing about landscaping just how to over charge a customer for poor quality work. 

This company is a great example that a lie can be lived! Since the new ownership 5 years ago this company has gone down hill. They market off the previous owners reputation and work.  If you take pride in doing things the right way, this is definitely not the place you want to work. 


What is the best part of working at the company?
I like to work with other employees, communicate with management, and see the final stage of work after the completion of work on the object 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
first of all, take care of safety at the workplace and the safety of employees, as well as careful maintenance of devices and tools 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Yes  the culture and manner of behavior must be present both in the company and in the team 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
there is a way out of any situation, the main thing is to make the right decision

You will need a secret decoder ring to navigate the pay stucture. You pay laborers. Even when jobs are done exactly as the plans given, you may not get paid much. Problems came up with unsatisfied customers, that was directly to do with terrible communication between the project manager and the customer. Lots of favouritism, most of their equipment is old junk. Even though you are paid by piecework you are at the mercy of everyone else when it comes to trucking, material deliveries and who you get as a laborer. 

With decades of experience in the industry, I highly recommend staying away from Green tree.

This company lies to you none stop and then with holds pay and lies about the wage you are given. They will tell you one thing and then do another, you are offered no help and the management staff will straight up take away your workers to start new jobs and leave you by yourself waiting for help and then be questioned when the job isn't done. Liars and thiefs. 

I would work for them again if I was looking for a landscaping job. I was on a good crew. No issues. They were happy with my work performance. I worked hard, but it kept me in good shape. 

- start at anytime after 7 and work until you are caught up
- stand your ground
- dont take things to heart
- most enjoyable part of the job was going on site visits/ seeing the work completed

They don't pay overtime, you have to continually check your pay for missing hours.
Managers and owners don't help or support you in anyway. They will want to pay you piece work instead of hourly pay.

In short, greentree has high expectations of their employees, but they do little to nothing to ensure the crew is prepared for the job. Poor tools, poor planning, poor communication, toxic management style.
