Good experience for new gardeners, but could do better - Lead Gardener Bachman's Employee Review

This was one of my first jobs as a teenager and I felt it was a good starting point. The other employees were friendly and the work was appropriate for a minimum wage job.

Not any I can think of.

The scheduling as a seasonal employee is fairly flexible, I've never had trouble getting the time off so long as I request it prior to the schedule going out. The employee discount is also nice as Bachman's has a great deal of product that makes for great gifts for the gardener in your life, but also has a lovely "gift shop" as well that contains product beyond plant life.

The vastly different environmental working conditions (extreme heat, cold, rain or shine) is sometimes difficult to plan for, especially if you expect to be working in one area of the store and end up somewhere else. Also the current increase in senior level management's expectations of seasonal employees responsibilities currently comes without pay compensation.
