Everyday we have a meeting at the beginning of the shift and work from 1 - 8pm. We role play and give each other advice on how to improve, make more sales, more lead generation, and give the customer a sense of security and trust. We typically leave to go knock door-to-door around 2, and then spend the rest of the day talking to people at their homes to sell them lawn care services. We use mobile devices to record our progress and enter new information. At the end of the day we drive back together and print out our results and give our manager feedback. I learned that many people don't like you as a salesperson before even meeting you, I learned a lot about lawn care, and how to treat weeds. The culture is very laid-back. We get along extremely well and even take the time after work to spend time together. We are also really humorous and always laughing. The hardest part of this job is dealing with the weather. It can sometimes be cold or raining, and we still have to work. The best part of this job is the pay. We get hourly wages and commission and bonuses.

Training you and paying for your testing is a big plus, especially when it comes to the technical aspects of the job. Working as a lawn care specialist will provide you with many opportunities to upsell sometimes necessary treatments to customers and they allow you a great deal of autonomy when it comes to this. Not every customer needs to buy from you, but ExperiGreen assures customers that you can be trusted. Often enough, you are able to see the results of your work and can feel pride in the fruits of your labor; you just need the ethic to do the work.
The call center needs some more information and training, and you can and will encounter situations in which information was improperly conveyed to customers as a result of miscommunications from the call center. The company needs to find solutions to allow for call center employees to be less of nodding heads and more of sources of information.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They care about you , they want you to succeed , they want you to also enjoy a well rounded work life balance, and it’s not just another office sales job it’s better than that! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There are days when numbers could be down and it can get stressful but we support each other to pull back out of it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I would say friendly, understanding, helpful, patient, encouraging and fun.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Talking to allot of people to add to their lawn care, there’s all different things people need for their lawn and it’s the welcome mat to your house, I like the idea of being a part of that, something simple and honest.

My work day is to go out and treat and care for my customer's lawns. I care for them as if they are my own. If there are any issues I diagnose and inform the customer on a proper treatment regimen. I've learned a lot about the type of grasses, weeds, diseases, insect damage and how to apply fertilizers, weed control and other products necessary to care for a customers lawn and more. The management team consists of great individuals whom I've been working with for a while now. The hardest part is sometimes making the proper diagnosis to make sure I am using the correct treatment option as especially with diseases, there are many different types. The best part is having a customer tell me how happy they are with the progress their lawn is making since I started treating it

I am currently a technician at the ExperiGreen branch in Tinley Park. Ever since my first day, I have felt like a valued member of the ExperiGreen family! As a technician, my job is fast paced but also very rewarding. The starting pay here is good. ExperiGreen offers bonus opportunities on top of hourly pay, such as truck sale bonuses and commission if you exceed your weekly production goal. The management of the service department here is great. I can honestly say that there is mutual respect between technicians & management at this company.

It was a great learning experience. We had to walk around a lot and work in some harsh weather conditions . It was very competitive and money motivated . We had quotas to meet and sometimes I felt as if we were given unexpected expectations . I do not see how I would advance there or what I would have been able to do for work once lawn care season was completely over. I did not always feel comfortable going to strangers doors and it was just not a good long term fit for me. But it helped me grow as a person and enhanced my people skills.

Going into a field that you know nothing about can be intimidating. Since day one the managers at experigreen have made sure I have all the training and knowledge I need to be successful at my job. The learning is continuous and its great being able to learn and grow with such a great company in a fun atmosphere. I think the hardest part of this job can be dealing with Mother Nature. She is so unpredictable so it can be hard sometimes to explain to customers why certain things are or are not happening with their lawn. But as long as you fully understand the services and how the products work it all ends up good.

In a typical day I manage a sales team to drive business growth. Good team atmosphere all with a focused mission to serve our customers and grow the business. 

The management team has continued to help me refine my management skills while still allowing enough autonomy to make decisions that are best for the business. 

The hardest part of the job is recruiting and staying ahead of team needs. However we continue to work together to refine our recruiting procedures. 

The best part of the job is the people, both on a personal and professional level. They continue to push and help everyone grow.

I would not work for this company unless you're okay with turning off your morals from 9-5. Their business model is buying out smaller companies, they don't actually know how to run a business. Their salesmen are dishonest and you don't get any support from management. For customer service, they will encourage you to lie and cover technician's errors up. They preach being "all about the customer" but then hand you a "project" to add unauthorized services to customers accounts. It's truly not worth the paycheck, overall a very slimey company. 

A typical day at work we come in grab our tablet and route for the day we clock in Get dressed and start our day heading to our first lawn I learned more about how our perfromence while treating really promotes trust with our customers Management is Great no complaints what so ever the culture here is family like we all have the same mindset to go out everyday and do our ultimate best the hardest part of the Job is working in exetreme heat or when the lawns are extremely wet the best part of the job is being outside and making lawns beautiful
