Pros

Money. Plain and simple. They pay very well if you are good at your job. The benefits and 401k are also good reasons to work there.

Cons

Micro management is going to happen weather you like it or not. Hours, there is no work life balance. Zero loyalty. They make you think you are part of a team but I have know men that were extremely good at their jobs and had been there for more than 20 years and were let go over things that they not only couldn’t control but were not even aware they were going on.

We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the weekly pay structure and benefits package. However, we are sorry to hear that your experience with leadership was not as positive as we would hope. We know that we always have room for improvement and want to thank you for sharing your concerns with us.

Pros

Competitive pay, job stability, commission, retention & completion bonuses. Three day weekend.

Cons

Literally everything else. Management and the way the company is ran is absolutely terrible. The high ups in the company don’t give a rats tail about you. They want their number and they don’t care how they get it. 30+ stops a day with a daily average of about 35 stops. $1,500 to $2,000 worth of production a day with no incentive other than completion bonus which they cut from 10% to 3%. If someone calls out they don’t save that route for another day they divide the work up within the area and tell you it has to get done, meaning with your already heavy workload you get sent even more work. Customer care is thrown out the window and you get shunned if you take more than 11 hours in the day to do your massive amount of work regardless of how much money an hour you’re producing. On rain days if they cancel the day they don’t inform you till you’ve already gotten to work most of the time and you don’t get paid for that day and end up having to make it up later in the week. It’s a 4 day work week but you’re doing the work of 5 days in 4. The system they run the tablets on constantly runs slow and crashes due to the constant overload of work going through it all the time daily. They make you upkeep the trucks and check the oils and fluids (by having to lift the entire cab) with the 20 minute “in branch time” they allot you to get your entire truck ready with the materials you need for the day in the morning and evening. If you run out of liquid product during the day they expect you to use your granular spreader to finish off the work you have left, whether they be your jobs or jobs that were sent to you.
