Good place to work owner was a little crazy
Field Supervisor (Former Employee) - Blue Island, IL - September 10, 2019
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by Indeedtypical day at work was getting the crew started and out the door but before that you had to create a schedule and stops they needed to make and let them know what equipment they needed to begin the day.

Very fun environment.
Contract Administrator (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - November 30, 2021
I loved working for Christy Webber! All the employees were friendly and willing to help. There was always a employee event or a bbq. Each department had events and invited other departments. The best company I've ever worked for hands down.

Great Place to work! Great team environment.
Account Manager (Current Employee) - Chicago, IL - September 27, 2021
Must be a self starter and be able to mange your work load. It will feel like a lot during growing season but it challenges you. Great work life balance, if you are from the landscaping industry you will get it. Weekends off 99.9% of the time.
Pros
Company Car, Great Work Life Balance, Everyone Works Well Together
Cons
Medical is Expensive

Manipulation and shady tactics
CDL Class A Driver (Current Employee) - Chicago, IL - March 4, 2021
This is the type of places that threatens to fire or deduct from your pay just because the manager feels like it. They will leave ya at home for days or weeks at a time then expect you to jump once you've already started working else were because there's a lack of communication

Stressful and Axniety Ridden Work Place
Account Manager (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - November 4, 2019
If you are good at landscape and love the outdoors then this is a good place for you. However, I feel that the company does not value its human capital. The owner is oppressive and treats employees like small children, often berating them in front of other staff. You work many hours without fair compensation. However, you are not micro managed and have a lot of freedom as long as you hit your goals.

FEAR Driven and Take a Number at the door as an employee
Operations Manager (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - April 26, 2018
***WARNING***
The company is run on fear where the employee is a number rather than a human. Over about a 5 year span there were approximately 100 either fired, "laid off" or quit that were office employees. Thats on average almost 2 people per month. That in of itself should tell you the type of company.
You will feel the wrath of the owner on a daily basis. From name calling to being belittled to being accused of just about everything you will spend more time trying to explain yourself or covering your butt than doing the actual job. Company thrives on drama. There is no loyalty at all and as far as a career thats all but non existent.
Dont believe all the interviews of the owner where its told that the employee is important, or the owner does so much its done for one reason the owners gain.
Pros
Certain co-workers
Cons
No career, no advancement, fear driven top management

Productive
Yard Assistant (Current Employee) - Chicago, IL - November 6, 2013
My typical day at work could be busy at times. I've learned the proper procedures of maintaining trees and plants. I work well with my co-workers, they help me with the things I don't know. What I enjoy the most is I learn something new everyday.

Good full-time hard labor experience
Construction Laborer full-time (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - October 17, 2013
Days were usually 12 hours long with hard labor intensive work. I learned how to manage my time while working full-time throughout the summer. My co-workers were wonderful people and we got along great and always worked as a team. The most difficult part of the job was getting used to the transition into working full-time because it made it much more difficult to train for football over the summer. The part that I most enjoyed about this particular job was the experience I was able to obtain. It gave me a much larger perspective on what's important to me and how other people act when their job is all they have.

This company is a user company. They really don't respect the employee.
Contract Manager (Former Employee) - 2900 W Ferdinand St, Chgo, 11900 S Division BI IL - March 15, 2011
I worked for CWL for over 5 + years. At first they give the impretion that your knowledge, experience etc is valued. Unfortunately it is not. In all reality ther is no history with their employees over 90% of the workforce has been employeed there less than two years. That alone says alot.
Cons
no respect
