A TREMENDOUS ORGANIZATION!

Business Outlook

Pros

* Senior Management is plugged into and committed to the communities they oversee, and work hard to provide the tools required for us to offer best-in-class services * I have had the ability to hire excellent Associates, and have not had to "settle" because the compensation for an open position was not equivalent to the expectations. * A tremendous organization if you are an energetic, hard-working professional who enjoys caring for people, winning as a team, and would like to increase your responsibilities, or have career aspirations. An expanding organization that likes to promote from within.

Cons

* I would say the "cons" are industry-driven, and not Brightview-driven. It is a business with sometimes dramatic ebb & flow, and the ebb is utterly unpredictable. But Brightview does a better job of supporting its communities with the resources it requires during a downturn than many other competitors.
