Good company - Gardener bei Riverside Park Conservancy: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Supportive and kind departmental team environment. Several opportunities to engage with other departments for growth. Great benefits - stipend for winter gear, stipend for horticultural classes, 401k match.

More action needed towards language and environmental justice (bilingual programming, accessible programming). In need of more options for community decision making.

-week off in December -take days off as needed if you have the hours to spare -semi decent benefits and a small match to retirement

-pay is terrible -management doesn’t care about anything because nothing here matters. -they interview for manager positions and give you lesser titles. -interview is them just lying to you about how great it is and when you come you see the truth. -assistant manager positions are given to friends of supervisors that knew one another from elsewhere or are buddy buddy -basically not a skills based job. You will not be compensated well for being a skilled gardener. Experience or not you start at the bottom -volunteer department doesn’t communicate well with field staff well often leaving gardeners do figure it out on the fly
