Do not work for or hire this sham company.

Pros

The legacy company I joined 8 years ago was a good company.

Cons

The new Brightview is awful. They are cheating their clients to save hours/money as they prep to go public. My manager said so. This makes for sour clients and sour employees. Everyone now just calls it a paycheck. No one cares, anymore. This Glassdoor is "fresh" because our old company reviews were real. Clients and employees should all llok elsewhere unless they like working for a lot of VP's who have no clue about landscaping.

Pretty good company to work at...

Pros

Pay and benefits are pretty nice. High autonomy (depending on your function of course). Everything is basically new, so you have a chance to be a part of creating a new brand.

Cons

Tons of VP titles thrown around. Not enough resources in the field. You will work hard, but it can be rewarding.

Pros

Offers many different insurance packages

Cons

Old values and priorities were replaced with a focus on tightening budgets. Systems and practices that are created by corporate are not communicated to the branches clearly, and often just thrown at you with no explanation. Client satisfaction is no longer a priority and is no longer monitored, as it was with ValleyCrest, I was even told to not be proactive with the bottom 20% of my clients by management. If there is a need to use a credit card for company expenses and purchases, the employees are expected to use their personal credit cards, i average between 600-1000$ a month in reimbursements.
