Pros

You can make decent money at this job . If you sacrifice you can move up the ladder pretty fast.

Cons

The company goes out of the way to make the lives of the sales representatives a living nightmare. 7-8 hours a day in 100 degree weather. I was instructed by upper management to threaten jobs for taking extra 5 min break in the extreme heat. Whenever a sales rep is not doing good all upper management to device is to "make it more painful". The career advancements are very good I was also instructed to make empty promises many times to salesman. The hours are Monday through Friday 7:10 AM to 8 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 3 PM. So as you read this you may be saying oh well it's easy to sell turn right it is very easy to sell if you do not mind lying to people and providing no customer service I challenge you to go on to Google read the reviews of Trugreen service you have reached your dad and ask yourself if you can sell the product.

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
