Pros

Don’t fall for the first page of reviews. They’re all doctored with positive reviews with an employee of tru green to make this look like an appealing job. Once you get to page 2. The real reviews from past employers begin. Not a single pro at this place.

Cons

They don’t care about their employees. They will make you hire and staff and not disclose to them about the 5 month lay off at the end of September. It’s all door to door. The pay structure is abysmal. They also work the staff Monday thru sat. About 65 hours a week. It equates to less than minimum wage when you divide it all out. The technology is also from the stone ages. They also bully and apply scare tactics with employees on a regular basis. Stay as far away from this place !

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.
