Anthony Cicoeelli, president of AMC Nursery and Landscaping Inc., explains that business is not necessarily worse for his company during the winter seasons, just very different.
Their peak season for business is from March 15th-June 30th. For the rest of the year, they average around 20 people from June to December, and then maybe a dozen throughout the winter, Cicoeelli said.
"There are different aspects of the business during different times,"said Cicoeelli, who is a graduate from Temple University and started the business in 1991 right out of college. "During the winter we do snow removal and sell top soil."
The company does not have pay differences between seasons and doesn't migrate between seasons for this very reason, Cicoeelli said.
Something that has actually affected the company is the downturn of the economy.
When the economy was good, the company did a lot of developer work and construction work. When that died off, they started focusing more on the maintenance aspect of the work for homes. That is what they've been really focused on for the last four years, Cicoeelli said.
"Since the recession, we've grown as a business but our profits have stayed the same," Cicoeelli said. "Now we're just doing more work, but for less money."
