    HEAR MY STORY. I…read moreworked at LCTF from September of 2017 to April of 2018; not a long time but it was all I could take and here is why. The business doesn't care for safety at all: we were using chainsaws, rarely without any ear or eye protection (unless we brought our own), and certainly without any proper training. And the same goes for the Bobcat skid steer, and John Deere tractor that would certainly fail any regulation test. I spent nearly 2 weeks in the winter hand washing the owners home windows, often times suspended 25+ feet in the air with no harness or any safety equipment what so ever. Some of my fellow coworkers were often on top of certain structures without equipment as well. They're highly illegal; During the season for landscaping and for the Christmas trees, employees are often work 50-60+ hours a week without any overtime pay. I, personally, had a two week period where I clocked in 120.5 hours (with no overtime pay). Their pay stubs are partially handwritten with the lower portion of the pay stub stating "no state or federal taxes withheld" which I didn't pay much attention to until the taxes season came around in which my tax return went from me receiving $1000+ from a previous job, to then owing the government money due to the company not doing the taxes. I cannot recall filling out a W-4 nor an 1-9 upon hiring. Their work is just plain awful; Go see for yourself, their "nursery" is completely unorganized and overrun by weeds and unwanted plants. And with the money that the company makes going into the owners own wallets rather than the employees and the business, their landscaping is beyond elementary and the Christmas trees are poorly kept and trimmed. In all, I am a fan of having a tree farm around for the fun of the Christmas season, but this place needs to be sold to someone who cares more about the company, workers, and customers, or the business should be shutdown. If you are considering applying for work, which is common for high school and college kids, please, for your sake, find somewhere else. (I posted this on google as well but I need to post it anywhere I can to prevent any injury to upcoming workers and customers. Please, share this.)

    Love this place. Always friendly staff and enough trees to go around for the entire Chippewa…read morevalley! They got great prices!
