Rosa Flora

Working at Rosa Flora has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my career so far. From day one, I felt welcomed and valued as part of the team. The management is approachable and genuinely cares about employee growth, safety, and well-being. What sets Rosa Flora apart is the supportive environment and flexibility they provide — whether it’s training opportunities or understanding your work-life balance.

I started here as a Dz truck driver, and with time, they helped me grow into an AZ driver. They even supported me with insurance approval for tractor-trailer runs, and provided me with hands-on experience and mentorship from senior drivers. This kind of internal growth and trust in employees is rare to find.

The workplace is clean, organized, and everyone — from office staff to warehouse team — is respectful and friendly. The company also grows beautiful flowers, and working around them adds a unique touch of positivity to your day. Schedules are well-planned, and there’s a strong focus on teamwork and communication.

If you’re someone looking to learn, grow, and be part of a reliable company that treats you like family — Rosa Flora is the place to be.

Very old trucks maintained to minimum safety standards and nobody cleans them. The work can be hard, unloading buckets of flowers in sketchy places a lot of the time totally in cold, snow and bad weather. Lots of times you need to load the truck too. All hand bombing.
You get paid from start to finish so they say you can make good money but at a low hourly wage and you spend your life in a disgusting dirty, rickety, and noisy truck and creepy sleeper. Freeze your buttocks off in the winter, sweat it in the summer. You’ll always be part time even if you work 60 plus hours a week. No overtime, no benefits or holiday pay and no hope for a raise. If someone doesn’t like you then you get no hours either.
They randomly give you a bonus for bringing back the empty buckets but you bring back loads all the time and somehow the bonus is always like 7 or 10 bucks every two months or so. Drive in team with a senior driver who can totally take advantage of a new guy. Management won’t care.
Good job for a slave!

They really need to work on making this a better place to work if they want to hire quality employees (especially now that their short-comings can be broadcasted online). But honestly, they don't seem to recognize or care about anyone, regardless of their work ethic or qualifications. Blatantly ignoring workplace safety, and allowing management to wield disrespectful and condescending attitudes is simply not ok. Couple these qualities with incredibly low wages and no opportunity for advancement, and you have a terrible place to work. Look elsewhere if you can, I worked here for several months and every day felt like I had to stand up for myself in some regard, or for my coworkers who were also treated unfairly. I didn't know anyone here who wasn't unhappy to go to work. It didn't have to be that way either, as the work itself wasn't horrible and the employees were hardworking and nice, it's just management.

Typical day for a (DZ) driver begins with loading your truck with flowers for your 24 to 40 hr run. Carts of flowers for your truck are typically found in your loading area/zone. Care must be taken to load the truck properly, last drop loaded first and so on, with your first drop at the very back. Management for the most is good. As with any workplace, "dock talk" rumors happen. Over all though the co-workers are helpful to each other. The hardest part of the job for the new employee is "the hunt" for the drop-off location, which most times is in the middle of the night. The most enjoyable part of the job for me was the drive through the countryside, with the worst being "the hunt".

Would go back in a heart beat... if the Drivers Manager was replaced or fired!  Manager thinks he knows everything but he doesn’t and he doesn’t even have a commercial licence to drive a truck.  Swears At drivers and he expects everyone to know the job in a day. 
As for the staff we’ll I can’t say enough... all around the best people to work for... great attitude and atmosphere.  The owner is so good to his staff his attitude shows that he’s a winning company it’s just hard to deal with the manager.

A very poor company to work for.  Workplace moral is very poor as direct result of management.   Very difficult to keep good workers as they are not respected.  The people you work on the line, or in the barn filling orders are awesome,  just don't talk with them or get yelled at. Smokers have a outside sheltered ( three sides plus a roof) while non smokers have the outside elements to deal with.  Although gov reg are in place for heat, that is not followed again seems like management has no checks.   Very hard work  and the push for more is continuous.

A typical day consists of management changing their minds 20 times a day to the point that no one has any idea what is going on. The rest of the staff is friendly if your dutch and If your not don't expect a warm welcome. There is a definite lack of respect between management and workers specifically newer employees with little experience. The hardest part of the job was trying to figure out what was going on and where you needed to be because management communicated with workers poorly if at all. If there were any good parts to working here I definitely didn't know about them.

Team driving to select horrid locations to US. Back-breaking labour to unload 5-600 pails of cut flowers in often very unsafe environments - and your teammate may be a slacker. Dilapidated old trucks with cramped, coffin-like sleepers that are too small even to sit up in. (There are a few newer trucks - but only for 3+ year licenses.) Full time means 60-80 hours a week. Pay is around $20/hr - not even close to living wage - with a couple of $1k bonuses a year. Benefits barely worth mentioning: $1,500/year value. Only upside: they hire newly licensed drivers.

Rosa Flora has:
Old trucks
Team Driving only
No benefits until after 6 months
Lazy co-drivers (not all, but most)
Horrible sleeping conditions
Slow acting management (your problems are either never resolved or only resolved after months of frequent requests)
No preparation (management provided no information to me about my first day.  No training, no heads-up about what to expect, nothing)

You do get paid for every second from the time you punch in to the time you punch out (even while sleeping).

Although outwardly Rosa looks like a thriving business, it still holds to the attitude of being a mom`n`pop operation.  This attitude makes working for them problematical with favoritism and internal politics rampant making it an uncomfortable work environment.

However as a driver you are away from that and as long as you follow their specific requirements, you are mostly left to your own devices.
