Pros

If these are pros... Get to work outside No body else likes or believes in the company either For the 3 moths I was there 5 different employees told me to run away from trugreen (which I did)

Cons

Tell sales people to mislead clients in order to make sales 90% of technicians suck so even if they should, in theory, be able to take care a lawn, they don't If people do not have solicitors licenses for a city managers tell employees to wear different shirts and tell police that we are AT&T employees and are "checking on past AT&T customers." Commission in on a draw so if you can't sell the product within a few weeks you end up owing the company money...what? The excuse management gave us for this behavior was that "the whole service industry is like this so we should just go along with it."

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.
