Pros

You learn how to be organized... because your General Manager wants to know what you are doing every minute of the day You learn to love your family... from a distance because your working 6 days a week 60 hours and of course your on salary or "Chinese overtime" They teach you how to manage your emotions.... because they regularly threaten your job

Cons

VERY STRESSFUL, too many hours, very demanding, pressure, micromanaging, toooooo many last minute changes that affect your pay/job duties

Pros

Potential commission and that's about it! I don't have 20 words for pros for this company. Cons! Cons! Cons! Cons!

Cons

Lies in the interview on what hours you're going to work. Awful training! Micro-managed! Constantly asked what you're doing and where you're at. Pushy sales and unrealistic expectations. Huge mistake taking this job. If you value yourself and customers. Don't waste your time on this place. Avoid it like the plague! No work/life balance. Expected to live at that awful place. Door to door sales suck! Cold calling sucks!

Pros

I started with TruGreen as an entry level sales rep in 1985. No sales experience. Wanted to grow into management. Today, 31 years later, here I sit running an $8M branch only because the company is all about giving people opportunity go grow, to learn and to take on more! we've been through highs and lows and tons of changes over the years, but I truly believe in the people that run our organization and believe they have the best interest of their employees and their customers in the forefront! This is a great place to work and to start/grow a career

Cons

If you want slow pace, easy, pressure-free than don't come work here. Admittedly TruGreen asks a lot of their employees at every level. We work extremely hard here, and this isn't for some people. We put in the hours at certain times of the year, as there is certainly somewhat of a seasonality functionality. Furthermore, I don't agree with every decision that is made, as this is a corporation and it isn't "Jon's lawncare", but it goes to say that this is true with any company in existence!
