Working at Choate USA in Biloxi, MS: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Biloxi, MS Area

"It pretty much covers all of the major categories any employee would be taking into consideration."

What do you like about working at Choate USA?

"It allows me to be creative and design landscapes, gives me an opportunity to be outdoors and work with clients who typically like my ideas and I like working for a company that came here specifically to be part of the rebuilding process following Hurricane Katrina."

What don't you like about working at Choate USA?

"There's very little value put on a work/life balance and or family. I work at least 6 days per week and when I'm off I still have constant emails and text messages from corporate coming through. There's just no down-time. I can be sitting in my kayak in the middle of the bay and there's always something urgent that can't wait until Monday morning. I think it's a bit disrespectful because we're all very hard workers and everybody needs time to chill."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I always encourage my managers to write it down. Document anything and everything you have concerns or questions about. Whether it has to do with a customer or an issue with an employee, after a long day the details get shady and it's important to have a way to go back and retrieve the day's events. My other suggestion is to remind yourself and your crew to just do it right the first time. Get it over with and out of the way. Nobody likes to do the same thing twice."
