The entry-level jobs with the Green Group, a collection of lawn care providers across the United States, are hourly, part-time, seasonal jobs that might involve aerating and seeding lawns. But the paycheck isn’t the only benefit.
The Raleigh, N.C.-based company helps workers move up the career ladder, and managers play a role in this process. They’re encouraged to notice workers’ skills and guide them to what’s next. Green Group supports those efforts with training materials for all workers, and they have posters in the office that compare the required skills and pay for different roles.
