Pros
Pay for performance - the harder working/higher performing employees are compensated as such. Advancement opportunity - I have watched myself, my peers, my supervisors, and my managers be promoted several times. Great outlook ahead - Recent merger with Scott's Lawncare Service supports the idea that TruGreen has a solid future. Truly a level playing field at entry level - I started working for TruGreen in 2010 seasonally, only to support me through my college degree. It is now 2016, and I successfully completed by Bachelor's degree, however, I am not looking for other work. Success at TruGreen is dependent only on your ability to learn on the job, and execute that knowledge.
Cons
Work/Life balance can get out of control in the busy season (about 6-8 weeks out of the year) - just like every other place of employment. Seasonal slowdowns occur, but TruGreen has a way of redirecting hard working employees who want to work later in the season to new job titles temporarily. Typically, seasonal layoffs are volunteer-based, long before any mandatory cuts are done, and by some are considered a perk of the job.
