Pros

They pay on time. That's about all that's good about working with them

Cons

Bait and switch work orders. Jobs are under bid. You can't make any money on bids because they mark your bids up so much. If you have a problem you will be routed to a automated email that says it's gnomes will get back to you only to immediately get a second email saying your problem has been resolved. You can not control your schedule without being severely punished or deactivated. Screen shot your orders they will change the price on you while you are working. Definitely expect to accept a under prices small 4k lawn only to show up to find it 90k sqft and you will either do it for a financial loss or they will take your accounts back because you refused. If they severely underbid something the actual lawnstarter saying " it is what it is " and if you don't do it. You will take a cancellation against your rating, you will receive a incomplete and a no show, plus they may not even be able to remove it from your schedule for days and every single day you will get charged with another late job penalty. They pay on time and if your just hurting for money. The works steady. It's under paid and if your a pro don't bother asking for support but don't expect because your a independent contractor that you will be able to make your own schedule and route lawns on days when you work that area. The app tier system will punish you if you change the time or day. SEVERELY

Pros

The company offers competitive salary at the beginning. But that's just it.

Cons

The company is bad at giving their employees a proper career path. Company doesn't even have HMO. They will replace you with AI even if you are working with them for almost 10 years. Once you are used. You will be discarded. They don't treat employees or FILIPINOS/South Africans/US as family. They only see us as contractors in this company. Once they've gained their wants. They will dispose you like a trash. For short I wouldn't recommend this company for long term. For short term? for sales? Sure but again if you are looking for a long term growth. This is not the company for you.
