Pros
The gm had a lot of experience and knowledge in lawn care, I had two different sales managers that were both cool to work with. My base pay was $500 a week plus commission and you are reimbursed for fuel mileage every week.
Cons
Commission started when you reached $1,500 in sales a week, so if you had a bad week the pay was horrible! In the spring you get an assigned route every day which is programed in your phone, i had to be at my route knocking on doors by 11am and you would knock till dusk and then return to the office to turn in your sales for the day. Some days were good, some were bad. We would do a lot of roll play training in the office working on sale pitches and different circumstances you will run into in the field. In the summer the sales switched to tree and shrub sales where they would print out leads of current lawn customers and you would try and sell them that service telling people their landscape was infested with bugs even if it wasn't, we would pre fill our paperwork the night before and go around peoples properties ripping leaves off trees and bushes putting them in sample bags trying to manipulate them in to buying the service! You would then return to the office and call the home owners at the properties you were at earlier that day and explain what you found and try to push them to buy, if they didn't answer we would keep calling and calling which was ridiculous, we would call through our stack constantly even if they were on the do not call list. All this company wants is money, they are very pushy so if you have lawn service be prepared to get called constantly with somebody trying to upsell something else, it doesn't stop! I strongly recommend working for a different company, and if you want lawncare use a local company or do it yourself, the technitions only work 4 days a week and they fly from house to house spraying as quick as they can because they want them doing 30-40 yards a day
