As both an employer and a service provider: ABUSIVE
Pros
Great short term position until you find something better. They'll basically hire anyone that can fog a mirror up and pass a drug screen. This goes for outside sales reps, lawn specialists, and office personnel. The sales manager that I personally dealt with was a very ethical, talented, caring human being.
Cons
I have never held a position in an organization where NONE of the employees had anything good to say about the company. The employees of Trugreen are battered and negative. They have a right to be; as bonuses, the length of their seasonal employment, personal recognition, and other forms of rewards/compensation been taken away from them little by little for the past 6-7 years. I was offered an opportunity to move departments and get a 33% base salary increase before I got laid off last year, and was quite pleased.......until I got to my second interview with the general manager of the facility that I worked at. He told me that he would go ($__ per hour), any more he would have to sleep on it. Being desperate to work at the time, I accepted a salary that was $2 per hour less than the 'concrete' offer that was made to me at the end of last year.
