Pros

I came to the company with solid prior experience. For an account management position hey offered me 78K and I negotiated it up to 80K. So, the salary was a plus. Also, a solid benefit package (good health insurance, matching 401K, vehicle, bonuses, commission, and PTO).

Cons

There is never any time to train new crew members because when they're on the clock, those hours need to be billed, so they have no option but to learn on the job, which is a recipe for failure. There is huge employee turnover at the gardener level and as an account manager, you are left with either a skeleton crew, or crews of people that have never even used a mower. How do you keep your customers happy that way? So then customers are calling you, or your boss, or their boss to complain about poor service, which of course is understandable because the guys you have on the jobs have no experience. They get frustrated and leave, and now you're worse off than before. Not too many accounts managers can handle that, so for the 2017-2018 season I was there, all but 1 account manager ended up leaving!

Pros

Good job and new manager has turned the place around.

Cons

1. Make you pay for take home company truck now used to be part of the job 2. Took away my managers sales bonus and he was not happy about it 3. All managers share a credit card for the entire branch 4. Bonuses are not what they used to be 5. Cuts are made company wide every quarter all to save Dales job and to show a shareholder profit yet the CEO makes millions with tones of bonuses and extras while little guys get crap pay
