      Area Manager Interview

      19 May 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TruGreen in May 2011

      Interview

      This was quite an extensive proccess. First I did a phone interview with someone from hr, then the hr manager, then the Branch Manager. All along the way i had to go over and over my resume and experience of course. Finally after a few weeks of emails and phone interviews i was given an interview with the branch manager. He was totally unprepared for the interview. He didnt review my resume prior to the meeting and I could tell that he was intimidated by my experience and resume. After rehashing my entire work history in detail and explaining all my (MANAGEMENT and SALES) experience he told me that he would like me to start as a supervisor at half the pay because i lacked experience. (In my previous job i doubled almost 80% of all contracts values in upsells and increased profit to the company as a whole by nearly 30%...( and we are talking millions here not thousands of dollars.......... my commision for sales almost doubled my salary last year........ i guess thats what you call a lack of experience!) I managed about 50 employees and 4 supervisors, dealt with clients and did it all in about 45hrs a week. I really feel as though the Branch Manager was totally incompitent! Its no wonder the company has such poor reviews. When you have these types of people in the key positions do you really think that they are going to be making the appropriate decisions when it comes to Sales, Service, or employee management? If you are thinking about applying for this company beware!!!!! Though dealing with servicemaster was easy and profesional. At the Branch level This company is useless.

      Area Manager Interview

      23 May 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Everett, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TruGreen (Everett, WA) in Aug 2009

      Interview

      Recruiters are professional, polite and always willing to do whatever they can for you. It is a extensive process only for the absolute serious candidate. First couple contacts were phone interviews, then some testing, HR contact, regional manager contact, branch manager contact, then 1:1 with Branch manager. Overall excellent and professional process.
