Pros

The ability to work alone for the whole day. Loads of overtime. Was very quick to hire. Full time.

Cons

They encourage you to save time by urinating in a bottle in the back of your van. Mind you, this wasnt just a casual thing, this was told to us during weekly training. I got welcomed to someones bottle full of urine when I went to load my van. They underpay for the work you do. You also get jipped a dollar or so for overtime, so you do not get time and a half. They claim they pay more than their competitors but this is just a blatent lie. I got trained by an inexperienced employee. Truely had no idea what major lawn problems to look for besides one or two issues.

Pros

local company, part-time hours aren't bad, they do give the opportunity for overtime

Cons

Treat second shift employees like dirt. Everything wrong with company is 2nd shift's fault. They give you 15 year old lists to call from and then get mad at you if you dare say they are the reason you can't make sales. HELLO, you've called these same people at least 10 times a year and you've been told "no" every time! Move on, people! Get an updated list that conforms to the Do Not Call laws and maybe you'll have better success.
