Pros

People you work with...that's about it

Cons

Everything . If you like to work long hours and 6 days a week in any kind of weather condition...then have I got a great job for you...You will work from 12-9pm every nite of the week plus Saturdays from 9-4pm...You will go door to door telling people how awful their lawn looks and trying to get them to sign up on the spot without even thinking about it....Oh yeah the service they are signing up for is a joke and is performed mostly by people that look like they just got out of prison...They ruin peoples lawns so bad that most of them end up cancelling. You will get cancel lists to call and call and call and call and call until these poor people scream at you for calling them a hundred times and you actually feel genuinely sorry for them because they distribute this same cancel list to all their salespeople . Oh yea this is only a seasonal job so you will bust your butt for about 20 weeks and then be told you either have to become a tech for a short time with no experience mind you or be laid off . I thought I was working for a reputable company with a great pedigree what I got was a sham of a company with a lot of complaints against them You would show up at peoples doors and they would yell at you to go away that's how bad it gets. The pay is just decent for the amount of hours worked. Comes out to like 11 dollars an hour if you factor in all the time you put into it. They do reimburse some for gas but you have to fight for it. If I were you and not desperate for work I would look elsewhere. The same could be said for signing up for their pitiful lawn service.
