Pros
Freedom to do what you want most the time Working outside Good exercise, especially while using granular spreader Culture of respect between management and employees No repercussions for poor quality of work due to lack of employees Easy to make sales commission Easy to make friends with coworkers and management Not a bad job if you can just do granular applications or tree shrub work
Cons
Pesticides will slowly kill you, long hours, bad pay, angry customers, shady business practices, poor incentives and benefits. Trucks have no AC but the company has money to put new cameras to watch your every move while operating? Treating 35-45 lawns a day can take its toll on your health. Broken outdated equipment, dangerous working conditions. Dishonest salespeople, scamming customers Spraying chemicals that can kill you and cause blindness if mishandled, always read the labels on the products you are using, ask your manager to show you what's in the mix
