Pros

Good training experience and many of my co-workers were kind and supportive. Enjoyed talking with and assisting TruGreen customers. Some of the team leads are supportive. The pay was good and fair for the work expectation.

Cons

The employment experience starts off fine for about 60 days in and then you begin to realize that the only reason the grass is looking green is because there is a septic tank underneath. Lots of turnover for call center agents. Some TLs can be covert in how they conduct their support and operating procedures. New and long-standing, loyal TruGreen customers are not being serviced with care and are being defrauded. It's unfortunate and sad. Many specialists are providing poor service or if any at all, which makes it nearly impossible as an Inbound Retention Specialist to build customer trust again to retain their business after trust has been broken on numerous occasions. And if you are able to retain any customers, you have to be borderline deceptive or lack a concious in order to maintain your expected retention stats to keep your job. Sadly, if these practices continue, TruGreen may lose their reputation as a trusted and viable company and the loyal customer base they worked so hard to earn their success over the last 50 years.

Pros

• Fully remote recruiting role with exposure to high-volume talent acquisition • Opportunity to build sourcing pipelines quickly and strengthen candidate screening efficiency • Experience working with Workday, HireRight, and multi-location hiring teams • Fast-paced environment that builds time management and scheduling discipline

Cons

• Extremely high-volume recruiting environment where recruiters are responsible for full-cycle ownership, including post-offer follow-up, with limited operational support. Compensation for recruiters does not consistently align with workload expectations • Interview expectations and documentation practices can vary across team members, creating inconsistencies in candidate tracking and communication • Limited visibility into candidate status when documentation is incomplete or not consistently maintained across recruiters • Significant calendar congestion due to overlapping interviews and multi-location scheduling, which can impact organization and efficiency • Hiring leaders occasionally join candidate calls without prior alignment, which can disrupt the interview flow • Many roles involve physically demanding outdoor work with high daily production expectations, which can make sourcing and conversion more challenging. Compensation for these roles may not always align with market expectations
