Pros
Great Coworkers. Worked with some of the greatest humans here, with big hearts and exceptional knowledge and skills.
Cons
Don't work here. Everyone comes in thinking that they're working for a sustainable urban ag company that is "changing the world" but are quickly disillusioned by the workplace environment and priorities of the company. Plus, it becomes very obvious the whole business model is definitely not "eco-centric" like it claims and produces a lot of unnecessary waste while ignoring the fact that the lettuce people are growing isn't really all that local if it was shipped across the country to your doorstep. The CEO knows nothing about agriculture, yet consistently makes decisions about it without consulting those who do know. As a horticulturist, along with other team members I was almost never consulted on important decisions regarding plant health, hydroponic system functions, and plant types despite having many years of experience. Pretty much across the board employees are under-compensated and undervalued - given too many added responsibilities/promotions without being compensated appropriately. The company cut corners to pay their workers less wherever possible, even after this was brought to their attention. Employees consistently get yelled at for asinine reasons, everyone is expected to fall in line, and opinions and voices are rarely listened to. While I was there I saw over half the staff turn over due to people leaving. Whoever is reading this, you deserve to be treated well. Find a job that values its employees and listens to them. This ain't it.
