Pros

Great company to work for they offer housing, transportation to work and grocery stores. They retain a charter company for employees to go home on weekends to visit their families. The Facility Grower knows every aspect of greenhouse from maintenance to accounting, learned alot from him. Many of my co-workers I consider to be more like family. Great place

Cons

HR and equality were the only issues I had....... too many Chiefs! Besides that, loved the job and the people. If you love a challenge this is the place for you.

Pros

When I just meet with Village Farms upper management I was thrill. The two Europeans that interviewed me, have vast experience in greenhouses and hydroponics, they seem very open to train professional women and work as a team. They interviewed me with two other graduates from Davis University and Cal Poly agriculture schools. The greenhouses structures and systems are the best in their kind. Being a young company, the opportunities seem limitless for a fully bilingual agronomist. The interview process was very positive. Good vacations and holidays. Company paid my move from out of state.

Cons

CEO out of touch. Mostly uneducated co-workers defending their turf, no information sharing. Complicity and favoritism. Management gives opportunities to males and places women in the back row. Huge nepotism at this facility. No growth or development; tried to move to other facilities/departments with no success. Workers are motivated based on fear or money. Encouragement or praise are unknown. Maintenance team poorly trained. Negative environment for someone professional with a college degree or female.
