Pros

People that were hired with me were good people but they felt defeated as soon as they walked in the door.

Cons

Encourage dishonesty to sell. Management dishonest and poor training. Revolving door hiring. Only the dishonest old salespeople survive.

Pros

As a technician for this company for many years, I can say Trugreen is not for everybody. You have to be dedicated in not only servicing customers, but you must extend yourself in selling to customers. I have found that if you commit yourself to both, you will find yourself generously compensated and fulfilled in what you do.

Cons

The primary challenge is figuring out how to make ends meet during seasonal(winter) lay off period. Trugreen could do a better job in this department.

Pros

- Hopefully in a few years, TruGreen will be bankrupt. -Good pay at peak seasons - Paid weekly

Cons

- A sales person has 0 say. Cannot change anything, cannot do anything, can't access any information. All you do is call and harrass customers. You cannot make service calls, check bill, take payments, or do ANYTHING besides sell. - Customers are harassed and lied to on a daily basis. - You are told to sell the product by any means necessary, because everybody needs TruGreen's products. - They tell you to sell products (aeration & seed, lime, pest control) like it would cure cancer. They think anything can be fixed with simple things, and customers end up getting screwed. - Wrap-Up script is poorly written and required to be read VERBATUM! - Managers don't care about employees or customers. - UNBELIEVABLY HIGH TURNOVER. Over 90% annual turnover. - Too many people put in fake sales. They are so disorganized that bad employees take advantage of the system (anything you sell this week M-S is paid 6 days later on Friday) and they don't check sales unless they get a complaint. So now, dishonest people put in tons of fake sales, rack up big commissions, quit (or get fired) and the honest employees are left dealing with the reprocussions.
