TruGreen reviews

Excessive hours, terrible sales from the call center mean I have to work 5 times as hard to gain customers' trust and resell our service. "Digital marketing" is a joke. You can not sell lawn care properly without actually seeing the lawn you are trying to sell (get rid of Google Earth and send sales reps to properties to sell properly). Poor balance of work/family time. We are supposed to work 4 11 hour shifts a week but now we are working 5 days to hit our revenue goal.You always have to work more hours and wear yourself out because the company wants more, more, more production. Sometimes I don't even get home until 7:30-8:00 at night, after arriving before 7:00 am! Overtime is good, but I am worn out! You can not make spontaneous plans with family or friends, ever. Trugreen owns you.

6 day work weeks pretty much year round. You have to "win" a three day holiday weekend. They strap you to a GPS radio that they can see your every move and will talk to you about it EVERY night you come back to the office to the point they even have the nerve to check your fingernails to see if they are dirty or not!!!. 11am-10pm work days Saturdays 9-possibly 6pm. You will be required to knock in "no-soliciting" neighborhoods. You WILL get rousted by police at least 2-3 times a month for knocking on doors. Commission against Draw Comp plan. If you go negative in commission you still get your meager draw but that negative commission follows you all year long unless you can make it up by some miracle. Only 2 people out of 12 actually can hit or zero out their commission. RSM are all about the numbers and could give a crap about customer service. Divisional Sales Managers hate the RSM's and make fun of them and the GM's constantly.
