THE COMPANY:  We are a company that challenges you, provides autonomy, and lets you grow within your role to develop your skillset.  At TASC, we believe finding the right people is more important than fulfilling a specific role.  We find the below attributes integral to our operations:

We create goodness.  We sell flower bulbs that create beauty in gardens, fruit and vegetables that put food from garden-to-table, and other garden supplies that make it all come together.  Our products are good for the body, mind, and the world around us.  We are proud to make a positive impact on Earth.

We are growing.  And in more ways than one! Our company has seen tremendous growth in the past 5 years and there is a lot more opportunity in front of us.  By joining TASC, you are joining a company that is humbly rooted but reaching towards the sky (and fast!)

We are a boot-strapped company.  As a private, well-capitalized company, all decisions are made to benefit the longevity and success of the company, not outside shareholders.  We run a lean operation so this means you have to be scrappy, but it also means you’ll have real responsibility over your ideas and projects.  You’ll get credit for your wins, learn from your mistakes, and have the ability to see your projects impact our strategy and connect with millions of consumers. 

We play in the big leagues.  You don’t have to work for a big company to work with big companies.  Our customers are big-box retailers so you’ll get to see your work come to fruition at a very large scale, while still working for an entrepreneurial company

We believe sharing is caring.  Transparency is an important part of our company.  We work openly with our suppliers and retailers to find ways to share our innovation, success stories, ways to improve, and accept criticism. Everyone’s thoughts are valued and we believe two minds (and perspectives!) are better than one.

We believe in doing right, even if it isn’t easy.  The consumer is at the heart of our business.  Every decision we make is to improve the quality, experience, enjoyment, and success of the consumer.  Profit is a symptom of being sincere and doing the right thing.

We value passion over pedigree.  We don’t have advanced education degree requirements to work at TASC.  What we do require is intellectual curiosity, a can-do attitude, and the dedication to turn your ideas into action – and these qualities aren’t learned sitting in a classroom. 

We think life is a hustle.  We wouldn’t have reached where we are today without turning dreams into plans.  If you’re a goal-oriented person, you’ll fit right in with our collective of hard-working, intelligent, and ambitious colleagues that don’t settle for anything less than excellence.
