TruGreen was the worst job of my life - Lawn Care Specialist TruGreen Employee Review

Pros

1. Most of the people working there were nice. @. Can't think of anything else.

Cons

1. Ridiculous schedules. Some days they wanted you to do 28 lawns and gave you 15 minutes to do a lawn and get to the next stop. 2. Dragging hundreds of feet of hose up hills around lawn furniture and pools and whatever else happened to be there. 3. Total grunt work using broken equipment and outdated trucks. 4. Came home covered in herbicides and whatever. 5 Seriously, this was the worst job of my life. I lasted 4 weeks and halfway thru the last day I drove the truck back and handed the manager the keys and told him I quit. 6. Almost forgot, my feet were bloody and blistered every day.

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.
