Pros

Its a family owned company- you get to know everyone. They get involved in community events and many of their office employees participate in these events.

Cons

Turn over can be high due to being a landscape company. it can be too hot or too cold for the laborers. you must like that environment.

2015 Summer Internship

Pros

I recently completed a summer internship at Acres Group's Roselle location. It was a great experience. Everyone was extremely friendly and very interested in helping me learn and progress. Managers and HR were willing to assist me in any way and they really strived to make my internship experience as positive as possible. There were also many valuable educational events offered over the course of the internship. We visited the Morton Arboretum and several nurseries throughout the summer. I had a terrific experience working at Acres and would strongly recommend this company to fellow students, friends, and family.

Cons

The only downside was that I was required to attend many meetings. The Roselle location had a pretty heavy workload over the summer and at times I felt like the meetings took away from time that I could have been getting ahead on my work. However, the meetings are very important for successful communication throughout the company.

Our internship program for this year was a huge success and we are happy to hear that you had a great experience this summer and found the intern events to be educational. Due to the size of organization and having multiple facilities, meetings are very important in order to facilitate necessary communication. We take great pride in being a forward thinking company and encourage active participation by all employees in order to have continuous improvement.

Pros

I have talked to many people that have had internships with other companies, and not one of them seem to be as organized and welcoming as Acres Group. From the top of the company all the way down to the bottom everyone has provided me with a wonderful experience. The best part about Acres is the people, and to me that made it a better experience. Also, the amount of knowledge that each employee has is through the roof, and they aren't afraid to share their knowledge of the industry with others to keep helping build the industry and keep others informed of the fast pace changes in this industry. All in all I would recommend Acres as a place to have an internship.

Cons

The weather conditions never cooperate.

Our motto....the BEST Place for the BEST People to work. Glad to here that your intern experience was positive and held true to what we believe. Yes, the weather can be very unpredictable and this summer mother nature drenched us with a lot of rain early in the season.
