Not great, but the education was worth it.

Business developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Corporate training is good on the sales side. I worked with some of the most talented sales professionals I’ve ever seen and learned a great deal from them.

Cons

Clients are consistently let down because their product is terrible. They were in the midst of rebranding and had a new CEO so hopefully things have improved. Terrible new commission plan, unrealistic goals, and way too much reporting/tracking.

Poorly managed and poor quality work

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule and company truck.

Cons

Micro management from branch managers due to hiring substandard account managers, mostly unqualified account and branch managers - most are in over their heads, they cheat the customers by doing less than contracts call for - take lots of shortcuts, quantity over quality in all instances, enhancement and irrigation crews rush jobs and do poor work.

Pros

Has the potential to be a great company to work for if it would get out of its own way.

Cons

Too top heavy - too much importance and priority given to executives and high level managers and the people doing the work are expendable. Too much turmoil, transition and change and gives the impression of being unstable.
