Pros

You get annual reviews and an annual raise, the pay is good starting at $17.00 per hour. The managers are amazing and if you work with them they will work with you. At our location they do a great job at recognizing you for your hard work.

Cons

The training needs work, if you don't learn something during your initial weeks of training you will just get a very basic run-down of how to do something at the shop and then they will send you out on your own. Trugreen is also a very corporate company so there are issues that you run into such as customers being frustrated because we don't have a local number and the call system sucks that you can't do anything about and end up getting stuck in the middle.

Pros

Do not need prior experience in sales or lawn care to be hired. Good place to learn sales and build your resume.

Cons

It's door-to-door. high rejection but you can overcome that if you increase your numbers. My location had good people so it was easier but other locations have Sales managers that aren't as helpful and you are on your own.
