Pros

Excellent growth opportunities. Rewards for great performance. Good health benefits and 401K. Great job security (company in business over 40 yrs and the largest company in the industry). Great training programs (started as entry level sales rep and moved up). Nearly all the managers have all started at the entry level. Overall the company expects hard work but rewards it. Long term outlook for the company very bright, (recent merger of TruGreen and Scotts lawn care have made TruGreen even larger) Base pay paid on time, all the time. Bonus and commissions paid out on time, all the time. Very clear goals and commission guidelines.

Cons

Long hours during peak season(s). 6 day work weeks during peak season(s). Outside work during summer months are hot.

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.
