Pros

Freedom to do what you want most the time Working outside Good exercise, especially while using granular spreader Culture of respect between management and employees No repercussions for poor quality of work due to lack of employees Easy to make sales commission Easy to make friends with coworkers and management Not a bad job if you can just do granular applications or tree shrub work

Cons

Pesticides will slowly kill you, long hours, bad pay, angry customers, shady business practices, poor incentives and benefits. Trucks have no AC but the company has money to put new cameras to watch your every move while operating? Treating 35-45 lawns a day can take its toll on your health. Broken outdated equipment, dangerous working conditions. Dishonest salespeople, scamming customers Spraying chemicals that can kill you and cause blindness if mishandled, always read the labels on the products you are using, ask your manager to show you what's in the mix

Pros

I’m trying hard to think of one but after trugreen bought scotts lawn service there were none

Cons

Micromanaged, over worked, underpaid, old equipment always breaking, get paid less if you don’t complete all your work which is next to impossible, favoritism, worst benefit package ive ever seen, worst management team ever assembled that are just puppets and have no right being managers

Pros

Being able to inform others of the Cons

Cons

First, Trugreen really one of the worst employers to work for. Everything involves lies, placing blame on others, and using you up till nothing is left and finding another. *All Cancellations count against you. Regardless of reasons. Each call breaks down to "What the Service Tech Didn't Do!" One of the things that you will get calls for is "my service tech marked me complete and he didn't do anything" This happens so often its insane. sad thing its usually true the guy want do his job. Your job is to report this. BUT!, its only natural for people to suspect that this happen in the past as well. Resulting in a CANCEL. now this happened and its your fault. "I've Still Got Weeds" you're going to hear that enough to hear it in you're nightmares. Each and every call. The thing is "Not Every WEED CAN BE TREATED" This usually results in a cancel as well. Your going to get roughly 90-100 calls per day and these are usually the reasons. Only thing worse then being on the phones is you don't get anytime off them. "5 Minutes" per day do you actually get time away. 2 "15 minute breaks" which can or can't actually take place. So, lunches. Are supposed to be 1 hour but they can and will shorten them randomly for no reason and you'll only get 30mins. Overtime, happens often too. Forced and randomly. Anyone thinking about employment here know what your getting yourself into. Know no matter how bad they treat you and use you at this company you can do better and are worth more then what they offer and try to push on you. I can't pay your bills or know what your going through, but if there's anything else available take it this isn't the type of suffering anyone could endure forever.
