Pros

The customers you interact with Pretty flexible for remote work options

Cons

Poor Leadership and Unclear Direction: There is a significant lack of alignment between middle management, coaches, and team leads. This results in constantly changing goals and inconsistent expectations for employees. Aggressive Sales Tactics and High Cancellation Rates: The company culture promotes outdated, high-pressure closing techniques. This approach leads to frequent customer complaints, damages the company's reputation, and results in a high volume of canceled sales. Ineffective Compensation and Unattainable Bonuses: The compensation package is a major drawback. The base hourly pay is low, the commission structure is unfavorable, and the bonus system is designed in a way that makes it nearly impossible for employees to succeed. Extreme Micromanagement and High-Pressure Environment: Management engages in heavy micromanagement. The expectation to make 300-500+ calls daily while being closely monitored on a glitchy auto-dialing system creates a stressful and inefficient work environment. Weird "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) Policy: Employees are required to use their personal devices for work and must install company monitoring software. Lack of Upward Mobility and Favoritism: Despite claims of career growth, there are no real opportunities for advancement. Promotions appear to be based on favoritism rather than merit or performance. Extremely High Employee Turnover: The company suffers from a very high turnover rate, with teams and staff changing on a weekly basis, leading to an unstable and chaotic atmosphere. Punitive Attendance Policy: The attendance policy is excessively strict and unforgiving. Missing results in a formal write-up, and employees are often forced to work weekends as a penalty and penalized AGAIN if the weekend shift is missed. Subpar Employee Benefits: The health benefits are expensive, with employee contributions so high that they offer little to no advantage over purchasing a private insurance plan.

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.
