Pros

The environment is highly entrepreneurial and accountable. If you love to make a difference and build/improve processes, you will have the opportunity to do so every day. It is both employee focused and results driven and opportunities for learning and growth are abundant. BrightFarmers at all levels are genuinely supportive and will drop everything to help if you ask for it. Growth is projected at 10x in a few years.

Cons

If you are looking for a status quo, maintenance organization it is not the right place for you. Also, if you view feedback and change as a negative.

Greenhouse Staff always Loses

Pros

Salary package is well above the mean for skilled positions.

Cons

Working on-site at the greenhouse is a good experience, lots of team-work and good people. The biggest issues at Brightfarms come from those outside the facility. Long hours are required to pad the stats for upper management with little to no upside for hourly and salaried staff. Many employees here work from home and seem to not add much value, all while finding ways to add more work to the plate of on-site employees. I have heard Brightfarms called an “F-ed up game of survivor” where you can be fired on the spot with little to no warning so job security is mostly non-existent here.

Pros

the people that i work with are great people, the culture here is some of the best that i've been around. people listen and are collaborative. true focus on making the world a better place.

Cons

the work load is pretty high and there never seems to be time to catch up, growth is faster than the ability to staff up.
