Pros

I liked my sales manager and supervisor, but that is only in my specific branch. Everything else about the job Was terrible.

Cons

Commission is literally impossible to attain. 60 hr work week with no overtime compensation. They may tell you you can make up to $65K/yr but you'll be lucky to get $25K. Your commission depends on 2 other departments and since the majority of the technicians B-L-O-W and the office staff couldn't find sky if they looked up, good luck ever getting it. You're guaranteed to work a minimum Mon-Fri 11-9 and Sat 9-2. That is if your manager doesn't tell you on friday night that you're working 9-5 on saturday (keep in mind, since there's no overtime, that's 3 additional hours of UNPAID time). I worked for this company for 4 years and the 1st 3 were decent but the changes they have made to "grow the business" have put me over the edge. Don't make a mistake and work for this company.

Pros

Working outside, paid exercise, learn how lawn maintenance works.

Cons

Terrible commission structure, commission not paid up front. A LOT of mileage on your vehicle, no reimbursement for wear and tear, and minimal gas reimbursement. Plan on working at least 55 hours a week.

Pros

None to speak of so far

Cons

Great if as a manager you enjoy asking people to do things there is no way you would be willing to do yourself. Employees are mistreated. Asked to squeeze 14 hours of work in a 10 hour day and then told we better not cut corners. Constant threats and belittling. Find employment elsewhere. Oh yeah I almost forgot about the wrong doing they put on the customers.
