Pros

The benefits are decent for the size of the company. They offered some things like legal service for a small nominal fee which has come in handy, for closing on a home and legal advice. The atmosphere for the most part was enjoyable. Compensation for the sales was base pay plus commission. This is great during peak season times.

Cons

Management is very wishy washy. It seems everyday you never know what is going to come across your plate. Don't count a consistent schedule. Shift bids every 4 weeks and can range from starting as early as 8 in the morning and not leaving possibly till 11pm, depending on schedule. Systems needed to complete day to day operations is very out dated. If you need help from IT forget, you might as well learn yourself. Took away tuition reimbursement. Plus if you want to grow with the company, pretend you don't know what your doing. This is a seasonal job, we'll make about 60 percent of your income in the first 5 months, so better be able to budget.

Pros

Paid Weekly. Get to enjoy being outside and getting a nice tan.

Cons

Long hours. Work 10 hours a day. Work Saturdays also. Constant fear tactics if you don't meet numbers. Managers are horrible. They talk about what they did when they were in sales and how great they were. No real training. Just a rah, rah session every day. Extreme micro managing. They follow you on their computer screen from house to house and also see the amount of time it takes you at each location. You get a call if not being a compliant robot. Then your equipment doesn't work. No computers that work. Office itself is a joke. No air conditioning or heat that works in most of the building. Rodents present in cold months. And the funny thing is that a sister company is terminex. I guess their products don't work either. Techs constantly mess up and customers call you to complain. Managers are liars. Use sales reps as a number to get their own bonuses. Very high turn over rate. I can write pages of how bad it was. Don't work for this company. Especially for the Houston locations.

Pros

Great hours over the summer for grunts like myself. General laborers who put out find they could sleep anywhere, they get huge, and can eat like horses. Servicing 800+ lawns in 3 months grew people skills, showed me the North Shore, and inspired some fun relationships with the guys.

Cons

Those work boots never liked my heels, I had to clean up after previous laborer's poor work a handful of times, and 50 hours a week for the whole summer saw the end of most leisure time.
