Pros
There is a lot of good sales training. Role playing is an everyday thing. Closing of sales is the main topic of the sales training. The salary is reasonable and the bosses are nice.
Cons
There is a lot of pressure to meet sales goals. It is expected that people do door to door sales even in neighborhoods that have signs saying, "No soliciting," this can make someone very uncomfortable. I was warned numerous times that I should not be soliciting in posted neighborhoods. I know of at least two salesman that were warned by police to leave a no soliciting neighborhood. Also, I do feel the approach they use to sell the lawn care service might be too aggressive for some people. The script I was supposed to use made me feel as though I was supposed to insult a person's yard in order to get them to react to my pitch. The problem I had was this job can be very physically demanding. I and at least one other person I heard from left this job because our bodies were being broken down by the walking that was expected. Finally, there is another problem and it involved the availability of rest room facilities. You are going to be sent to areas where there are no public restrooms. This can be a real problem if you have the urge to go.
