Pros

Good pay for entry-level job, Provided paid training, Good commission. •You win a 5$ scratch off ticket for 14+ leads a day. •You make very good commission money on truck sales, and a bit less on Up selling.

Cons

Unrealistic performance expectations, Micromanagement, Constant surveillance, High burnout risk. •You will be expected to knock on 190+ doors per shift. Every single door is tracked and your stats are monitored closely. If you take too long at any door they send a message to you and the supervisor comes to check on you. • If you don't generate enough leads you will be pressured harder. When numbers are low, management blames you. not the territory, not the weather, not the conditions. • During tech season you service 35 to 40 lawns daily. • You're still expected to door knock at least 30 doors and make sales otherwise You wont be let back to the office. •You report in detail every lawn you do, every customer you talk to, and you have to take pictures of every lawn you service. You're tracked by GPS and get questioned if not in the area. •When done with each lawn, you knock on the customer door and you're expected to up-sell any customer that has already paid.

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.
