Pros

Good work, hard work, good pay. Enjoy outdoors and people. I did like the overall details of the work. Good training.

Cons

Forced to be a salesman and try and finish your own work daily. Forced to work extra hours doing rediculous sales training if you fail to me the quota. No checks and balances. Your expected to be the best in the world so there is no praise for good work. Laid off in the winter. My state only pays a max 350 a week on unemployment so you cannot live. Not told about maditory sales during hiring process. You have 15-30 lawns to do in the day, you have to be back by a certain time including your two hour round trip travel (my route) and expected to make sales everyday and approach 3-5 neighbors about their lawns, and hang up to 100 door flyers per 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.
