Employment Opportunities

Our Priority: The Client - Of Course! - Every new employee has many things to learn. Let this be the first item on your list: Learning about the client.

bullet

The client is the reason we all have jobs.

bullet

Greet the client with a welcoming smile. They need to know right away that you care.

bullet

Offer your help to the client in a friendly way. Courtesy is what the client expects from all of us.

bullet

Never, ever argue with the client.   Get a manager or crew leader to help you right away if you can't help the client.  We all lose if the client becomes frustrated.

bullet

If you cannot solve the problem, tell the client that you will have the owner contact them to take care of the problem.

If the clients are not pleased with our service, they will take their business elsewhere.

Tuition Reimbursement - Promoting from within is the philosophy of PVSI, and we know that higher education is the key to success.  Therefore, we encourage further education in the areas of grounds management, landscaping, and horticulture.  Employees interested in taking courses, seminars, workshops, or symposiums should submit all information in advance to the owner for consideration.  Information must include: a description of the course, time period involved, and tuition costs.  Once the course is approved, it will be determined how much reimbursement the employee will receive based on the grade received.   Reimbursement will only apply to a grade of "B" or better.  Any grade of "C" or below will not be eligible for reimbursement.
