Pros

Excellent location, beautiful campus, quality products. Terrific benefits like free medical center onsite with free prescriptions and free physical therapy and fitness center.

Cons

Senior management won't promote the folks who actually do the bulk of the work, they keep their buddies, who in many cases should have been fired.

Temporary or "intern" workers at Scotts.

Pros

Great exposure and looks great on a resume

Cons

The work advertised was science oriented. The actual day to day was grunt work including physically demanding lifting and exposure outdoors. Temporary workers or "Interns" were treated as second class citizens by the Scotts company, awkwardly excluded from all full time Scotts employee benefits. Interns were expected to perform physically demanding, repetitive work with very little recognition. While the scientist and managers were professional, the environment was not conducive for long term employment.

Thank you for your honest feedback. The Research and Development intern program has been restructured to designate the fieldwork duties you have described as summer employment. This has resulted in less internship opportunities in Research and Development, however the intern program is now focused on research rather than fieldwork and interns are fully included.
