Pros

I started with TruGreen as an entry level sales rep in 1985. No sales experience. Wanted to grow into management. Today, 31 years later, here I sit running an $8M branch only because the company is all about giving people opportunity go grow, to learn and to take on more! we've been through highs and lows and tons of changes over the years, but I truly believe in the people that run our organization and believe they have the best interest of their employees and their customers in the forefront! This is a great place to work and to start/grow a career

Cons

If you want slow pace, easy, pressure-free than don't come work here. Admittedly TruGreen asks a lot of their employees at every level. We work extremely hard here, and this isn't for some people. We put in the hours at certain times of the year, as there is certainly somewhat of a seasonality functionality. Furthermore, I don't agree with every decision that is made, as this is a corporation and it isn't "Jon's lawncare", but it goes to say that this is true with any company in existence!

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
