Lovania Nurseries Ltd Employee Reviews

High standards, high limit and target. Small respect and benefits. No enough information from the management to do the right job, you need take your own decisions, but than they will blaming you for all mistakes. No bonus. Etc...

Terrible senior management

Senior Grower (Former Employee) - Tarleton, Lancashire - 16 April 2023

If you are happy to work yourself to death with not even a thank you then this is the place for you. Management expect the world but offer zero support.

Cons

Long hours, no weekends off for 6 months a year

Productive but rewarding place to work.

Transport and Logistics. (Current Employee) - Tarleton - 22 October 2022

I have been with the company now for just over three years. Overall I enjoy working at Lovania. Everybody helps each other to achieve the end goal . There are plenty of opportunities to progress and take on extra training provided by the company which I can personally say has helped me in my position. The company is constantly investing, developing and modernising current nursery sites despite the current climate. The job is varied with different tasks each day. It can be very demanding in the peak season but teamwork prevails. If I have one criticism it would be the language barrier can be challenging at times but nothing that can't be worked out.

Great company , develop and career building

Site Supervisor (Current Employee) - Tarleton - 21 October 2022

I have been working at Lovania Nursery full time (then more 3 years) I started as a worker and then I got promoted. Great company to build a career. This is a company that allows you to develop yourself, listens to you and, more importantly, makes you feel at home. Very busy in season and you never get bored, which is the best time for me.I can only make one criticism, sometimes you can be discriminated against because you are of a different nationality.But most importantly, you have the chance to work with a great team and managers.
