You don’t have a life outside of work - Lawn Technician TruGreen Employee Review

Pros

They have good pay and a good amount of overtime if that’s what you are looking for in a job or need the money.

Cons

They(Management) treat you like a number, like you’re easily replaceable, like you’re a robot and can do whatever they want for however long they want. They don’t care about your safety, well being or your life outside of work. Most weeks are 55-70 hour weeks. They are only worried about revenue and don’t actually care about you or their customers. They make you work in all kinds of weather conditions. They get mad if you have to call out for any reason. Honestly, just not a place where you feel important or valued. The money doesn’t make it worth 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.
