Pros
good pay for the industry, great benefits, city matches 10% contribution to your pension plan from Day 1 even for student gardeners.
Cons
low productivity, low efficiency, low motivation to do a great job, toxic people stay here for decades and make good workers want to leave, some people retire early because they can't stand it anymore. Supervisors sometimes are poor at problem-solving even simple things, and protect staff who are not treating others well. What I realized after working here for 8 years is that most of the problems here have come from the management level not doing things correctly.
