One nice thing about this job is experience is not necessary. Anyone with an eye for color and style can be trained in a floral career. Most employees are responsible for some skills, other than management duties. My grandmother and uncle have a floral shop and I started out there while still in high school. After attending college and attending a medical emergency technician school, I worked for a local ambulance service for a couple years until I applied here for my current job.
Holidays mean putting in a lot of long hours.
Dealing with the public in the capacity that we do can often be stressful at times. When we hear satisfied customers praising our work and we know we have done a good job, it is extremely rewarding. Please comment on those relationships. Are they stressful or pleasant and why. We do have to be cooperative with local funeral homes because we do have to work closely with them at times.
