You get retail. You know that it can be more than just selling things - having a clear purpose, telling a meaningful story, doing it for your community. And you've come to enjoy its unique combination of creativity, analysis, and pace. You have an eye for trend and a natural ability to build an assortment. Goal-oriented and eager to take on challenges with enthusiasm, you think critically and navigate details with care and accuracy. You can see the big picture and have the data to support it. While personal accomplishment excites you, you're equally passionate about helping others achieve their goals and making an impact as part of a team. You're a self-starter who takes pride in producing high-quality, detailed work - and you want to feel like you're making a difference.
A BIT ABOUT US
We like plants, people, and beautiful spaces. John Mulhall came to Omaha in 1953 to landscape, and now, three generations later, we’re as committed as we’ve ever been to making Omaha a more beautiful place to live. Today we’re a team of a few hundred people, but our focus remains the same: working together to engage our community and share our passion for the beauty of the natural world. And we have fun doing it.
