The Scotts Company Employer Reviews

Overall, Scotts was a wonderful place to work. I enjoyed the majority of my co-workers and truly liked the work I did. I felt appreciated and needed. Learning of the closing of the Oregon division and the loss of my job was the hardest thing. Scotts was wonderful, however, by offering us bonuses to stay on through the end, and paying us a severance.

I am an outdoor door to door salesman. You work 70 hours over 6 days rain or shine. You get belittled everyday and not a day goes by that management doesn't threaten your job. I have not had a Sat off since Jan. Scotts work/life philosophy does not carry down to its managers at all. You can make survivable money but for the amount of hours you work – more...  it is not enough. They pay you a low base salary and then you get 'chinese' overtime paid at a rate that is half of what your base salary is broken down into 40 hours. Management is constantly lying to staff...reguarding benefits, compensation, milage reimbursements change weekly. The most enjoyable part of the job is speaking with people and the constant change of scenery! – less

The Scotts Company is a very goal driven environment to work in, bordering on obsession. Many safety and hazardous conditions were overlooked in the drive for high numbers and productivity. Overall, it was a decent place to work with plenty of room for improvement.

Excellent place to work - paid fairly and the benefits are outstanding. No smoking policy. Onsite gym, doctors and pharmacy. Management is close at hand and involved.
