Svantaggi
Horrible management that seems to be hired more on who is friends with who and not how competent they are to lead, and awful regional staff that manages from behind a desk and not the field. Technicians and sales people are treated like peons and slaves. Complaints are ignored, thinking outside the box is frowned upon because 'it's not the Trugreen way'. Problems go unfixed for weeks, months, sometimes even years. Overtime pay for technicians is a joke. Goals are ridiculously unachievable unless a person enjoys working 12 to 14 hour days six days a week. Spray techs are often pushed to make unethical choices regarding spray treatments to customer's properties so the daily production goal can be hit. Sales people are pushed to sell, sell, sell regardless of proper expectations or honesty. There's little room for advancement in the company, unless you're willing to compromise your integrity.
