Pros

Safety programs are spot on Good employee benefits My Branch Manager cares about me as a person, not just a number The balance of work is personal life is just right, though I suspect that's more a function of my immediate manager.

Cons

Top Heavy management Knee jerk reactions from month to month, my Manager changes our plan at the beginning of every month based on the latest corporate instructions. Salaries seem low compared to all of my colleagues at similar companies and it takes an act of congress to get anything more than cost of living increases. Culture of both combined companies used to be strong and proud, this company lacks any identity of its own much less a strong culture. Feels more like Aramark than ValleyCrest or Brickman.

Pros

Good employees. Standard benefits package. No cap on commissions. Occasional catered meals.

Cons

Unfortunately, as with any large publicly traded company the goal is to keep investors pleased and there is high pressure to perform and grow business in an economic climate where stability is more realistic than growth. The company is structured by different branches, that function as their own cost center while reporting numbers to corporate. This structure makes sense on paper, but unfortunately leads to fractured relationships between branches and departments, leading to a loss of potential revenue. There is favoritism with the top earners being handed their accounts and not having to do much actual hunting or prospecting. Health insurance is very expensive with high deductibles. Usage of company car is deducted from paycheck. A large majority of what is performed could be considered "field work" that most companies would hire hourly employees to do and would qualify as overtime.
