Pros

Very nice and caring people, gave time off when needed, sometimes gave decent incentives like gift cards and pot lucks as rewards for reaching sales goals.

Cons

At times can be overbearing, an example last season I had 10 sales on the board with about 3 hours left in the shift, I get called into the board room and was told that I need to have more conversations with people, I was leading the room in sales and they still were not pleased with the way that I was talking on the phone, that really made me mad, and did not really want to give them a good effort but I did and finished the day with 12 sales, I also led the team in that particular file in sales consistently while we worked it during that time period, this happened regularly throughout the season, they would always find a way to complain to me about not saying what they wanted me to say or the way I would disposition the sale in the system, it was never good enough for them even though I was leading the team in sales on a daily basis. Also too many managers over you and no benefits of any kind offered.

Pros

Great family-owned company to work for! Very personable and supportive management. There is a strong sense of teamwork, and everyone is willing to help when needed. I have appreciated the flexibility and opportunities to grow professionally.

Cons

The busy season can be demanding at times, so priorities can shift quickly, but that is to be expected in this industry, and they help provide support and make it easy to adapt!

Pros

Training is emmaculate and you meet some great people, at first it seems like Management is there to help you.

Cons

Low pay… starting people at $14 an hour plus commission is insane, and saying with the commission it will make up the rest is also insane, you’re required to call more than 300 people a day, for every day you don’t get a sale they pull you into Zoom which is really discouraging because even if you get 4 sales the day prior they really think you’re doing something differently & poking at you to give them an answer.. manager will blame you for their mistakes or the lack of information they provide but will snap at you for not knowing. You’d think selling lawn care should be easy and laid back but they make you do a bunch of homework for every call you make or take, filling out 3 sheets, if you sell someone you have to go through 18 confirmations with the client, make them state their name & put a card on file… for $14 an hour you’re asking people to do a lot.
