Lol that's what we do.
First rate narration. So oddly relatable, I couldn't stop watching
Lol
“I am waiting for this handle to break dude” 😂😂😂😂
I feel for you duder!!! Even at our smaller company, have a Stinger. It rides so nice. Can control the core pressure. We're in and out in 10 minutes. Just watch out for sprinklers and drain tile and its a good time.
Cool video trugreen stay keeping people's yards looking amazing
I can’t wait to get back on the lawns this season
God love you, brother!
This guy is gold , I have an interview tomorrow wish me luck.
Good luck!
Good I start Monday
Update for anyone interested , 2 days in and all training. I’ll update my field work as well. Maybe will start a UA-cam so if interested follow
@@Babystan02 please do
I just had a sketchy phone interview i wouldnt call it an interview thiugh and the next day I get an email to come in tomorrow around 9 hired i wonder how i was able to grt thr job with my bad driving past.
Just started at TruGreen as a salesman and wanted to do some outside research. This was very informative and the commentary was great! Thanks man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Same here😂
I'm from Ohio, got like two years of landscaping experience under my belt. Im thinking about relocating to Washington state and applying at trugreen for a job out there. Thanks for keeping it real on this one bro. Definitely work im used to.
How is it going? Did you do the Trugreen thing?
"That's why I don't like my job" LOL!!!
When it’s the easiest the equipment fucks up 😂😂💯 couldn’t agree more man
Thanks for taking me to work with you. Made me appreciate your job. And mine. Take care.
Thanks again!
This video really helped! Thankyou!
Hi Big K, I'm in Philly and thinking of getting true lawn.i did blue green 2 years ago and have weds and spots with no grass. Many years ago I used Scott lawn. Was disappointed with their service.
Also I'm gonna be home each time the guy comes due to fear the guy will do my lawn in 30 sec.
Here's my question. So you think if I do the aeration, over seed and purchase a lan package through fall. Will the weeds will be gone and spots will have grass? Also I did have a sprinkler system. I want luscious green grass back and don't know what to personally put on the lawn. I rather have realistic expectations to say it may take 2 seasons vs True telling me yea we'll do it because they want my money. Thanks in advance
I worked for trugreen in Memphis. Loved the job, and miss it a lot.
Thank you for sharing I have a phone interview with Trugreen this coming Wednesday
How is it? You got an update ?
I start tommorow you gave me huge insight on what to expect thank you
Epic. You still making those lawns green?
What kind of tables is that and did yal use an app software?
Seriously love this video.. good" job my buddy "
TOBYYYYYYY! Thanks.
I start my job at TruGreen in 2 days! I’m excited!
Honestly, I work at Trugreen and do this job. It’s only temporary work until weather changes. Companies only work that many hours for their area and regions. Not every trugreen company is like this. I average 8 stops a day for Areation, little bit bigger yards. It just depends on how many workers your company has and how well your co workers really are.
Come to cali, i work 60 hours a week rain or shine. 14 aerations ranging from 5k sqft to 30k sqft & dont come home till dark or job is finished
You got it easy mandatory 12 hour days in verobeach 16-35 stops
I bet your pay is excellent though?@Gelahto
Been with TruGreen 2 years so far and honesty this job sucks. The bosses do not care about you one bit. If you call in sick even if it’s very rarely be prepared to get yelled at and berated. Management is awful, they play favorites and constantly criticize you in front of coworkers. The people who mixed my chemicals would mix at the wrong ratio and when lawns are burned you get yelled at not the service manager who mixed the product wrong. Work 60 hours a week and honest to god if your considering working at this company do not effing think about it move on.....it’s miserable and it sucks @$$. They send you to 30 properties a day and each property takes about 20-30 minutes unless you cut corners but then since you cut corners to avoid working till midnight and getting yelled at for “being too slow” the customers get super mad at you. Fuck this damn job I hate it and am so done with it come January (I finish paramedic schooling)
As a trugreen employee i wholeheartedly aggree.
Ok u just talked me out of applying thanks for the heads up lol
@@carlostheboss7425 Hey man, I’m glad I could help you out. I’ve been away from it for a while and have become much happier since.
this guy just helped me out got an interview tomorrow for the upper marlboro md location.. i'm even more exited now
Love this guy. I wish he were in Miami so he could be my lawn guy
Most def!
I just got hired to do this. I'm stoked. My last job was plumbing excavation
Im 19 and currently a night costodian in dallas tx i really want to do this i get paid 13 a hr wdyt?
You made a mistake
How ya like it?
Teebz, I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing. I hope you found the 9-5 you wanted.
Next thing you know they have a big ass jungle growing in the front 😂😂
This guy is hilarious what he was saying at the end of the video was gold this is the kind of boss everybody needs
When I make my own business i'll hire you. lol
I work 40 hrs and always am happy! I appreciate your hard work!
I start orientation tomorrow for a position in Rapid City, SD. Not really sure if i wanna do this lol
This dude is legend “ unload this biiiiiitch” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I feel enlightened 🤣
Great video! Very informative. Im starting with trugreen first day is this monday! Wish me luck!
How is it?
Great video, thank you!
😂😂😂😂😭that fake dog petting tho 😂😂😂
I wish my trugreen rep worked as hard as you, maybe I wouldn’t need to cancel
I feel you! When I was working 60 plus hours a week I was burned out. And when I'm burned out I start rushing and forgetting shyt, never good. I was getting up at 4am and getting home anywhere from 6pm-8pm. I kept telling myself the same thing, I just want 40 hrs! Like u said, the pay rate wasn't high enough to make working so long worth while. It's just not enough time in the day to work 12+ hours a day.
What state did you work in and what was the starting pay? Reason I ask is because I have a interview with truegreen here in Sacramento, California
Much truth.
@@ARPorganics It’s the same everywhere corporate runs things they give you a certain amount of time for each stop so you’re busting ass all day it’s an alright job just don’t expect quality work they don’t care about that just revenue
How much do they charge like monthly or per visit?
Looks like fun. Just interviewed today. Love the video.
Phone interview or video or heck, did you get called to come in?
How did it go? Did u get hired? If so do u like it?
Nah went back to hospice care. Never made it in. Best of luck to u though.
@@DD-gd9fd I've read the comments and im convinced to stay away from trugreen lol
Check out indeed entry lvl or manufacturing plenty of opportunities. Good luck. You got this😊
This is the funniest shit ever. Love it dude
4 months late but thanks dude.
Just checking out this company. I saw you were in PA, and then I saw the recycling bins, and I saw that this one done in my little town!
Sick.
Whats it like driving one of the company trucks with a trailer attached? Any tips?
Much practice. Going forward very easy. Going backwards is very weird at first. Cuz when you turn left in the truck the trailer swings rights. But it's pretty easy to learn.
At this point, why doesn't trugreen use LT Rich z plugs in 2019?
Love this video man. I'm just starting up at TruGreen and wanted to see what a day is like. Love the language. keepin it real!
Are you still working for them
Wondering the same lol. I start Monday 645 for “commercial”
@@suburbandad5262 how is it? My local tru green is hiring and im considering applying.
If you can work commercial yes I’d do it. If you work residential. Idk doesn’t seem like something I’d do. Big difference in what you’re doing. I don’t mind it. Steady easy 60 hours 5 days a week.
I go there ( between 615-7 pretty much my own discretion) I get my truck same truck every day. .. fill out the tablet you get and head off. By your self nobody bothers you. Again I’m in commercial so I don’t get all this BS everyone here is talking about. These guys are all talking about residential. Ask about commercial bro!!
I actually start Tru Green this Tuesday I'm kinda excited wish me luck🙏🏽
Luck has been sent your way. Enjoy. Lots of things to learn. Always a good thing.
I just got a job here and start soon and it seems like a bittersweet job is it in anyway worth it? After this I trust your judgement!
How is it
why did i get sudden desire to tend to my lawn?
Make that lawn green son!
Just started working at tru green bro lol let me tell you I hate the beginning training but I can tell in yo voice I’m only gone be working there for so long
Yo bro. Yea it was depressing.
@@Teebz all is well I see you moved on living life I’m only doing it rn for my son but after a year or so I find sumn better I’m gone
@@SuchaSavage Nice! Good Luck!
At least u have a nice truck and equipment
This guy is great! I'd hire him in a minute! So sorry he works for trugreen and has to run this junk equipment.
Hell yah! I have a phone interview November 11, 2021! Looks like I'm taking the position if the starting pay is what im looking for.
Sick! How'd it go?
You are funny haha I just got a job there hope I get to see You
I just applied to trugreen, I have an interview next week, I’m curious though do they drug test, I just smoke weed but I know some companies still care even if it’s legal in a specific state?
Yes you have to go a medical facility for the drug test /physical
I had an interview there and yes they do, but that’s in Texas
Wat kind I of drug test?
Favorite part was when he talked about the weight reduction by taking the wallet and phone out of his pocket 😂
Less weight more work.
Dudes comments are classic. I don't like turning like that cuz it fucks the ground... but its easier. Lmao
This is the dude that ends up on the undercover boss!
How'd it go?
Might be a dumb question but what if you're in the middle of a job and have to go the bathroom. What do you do then. Thanks for the video man.
Usually just pee in a bottle or take a quick walk in the woods. But for number 2 you gotta time it right ha.
This guy is terrific 🤣🤣🤣
Starting at the Redmond Washington branch in a week. I applied for aeration… if this is what I’m doing, I’m down
Heck yeah driving a truck and trailer solo slowly losing your mind 12 hours a day. Couldn't think of anything better.
Bro i just started at trugreen but all we do is spray fertilizer on grass and put dry product on from time to time ...what state did u work at trugreen ?
PA
The Big K damn bro i hope u don’t work there anymore I’m leaving this job in August lmao the money is good tho
Gideon Acheampong I applied for that and have an interview soon. How much did they start you at and do you like it? Thanks
cg 14 an hour & it’s not bad but the managers try to overwork from time to time if u finish work early but overall it’s okay depending what state your at.
@@Teebz no way! What area did you service? I'm based out of Lewisburg.
Great video, always wondered what it would be like. But how did you record this? GoPro or Spy Glasses HD?
I recorded this video with a GoPro Hero Session 5 with a mount that clips onto my hat.
I am a lawn tech for the tru green down in San Antonio, TX. Why don't you just pick the tymes up and turn the aerator using the barrel it's easier and more efficient and quicker. You just burn your self out doing it that way...plus the south region don't seed..
Thanks for this vid! I just had a phone interview for this job and I didn't this is what I would be doing without an Applicators license :O Where are you from btw??
I'm from Earth. Although most people think Mars. I'm in the NorthEast tho.
Man, I’m sure that’s not that hard of a job. it’s the repetition of the job and customer complaints that makes it aggravating but in a few weeks go back by you job sites and know you’re the reason the lawns look so good! Besides, it’s better than pumping out septic tanks or something really crappie. No pun intended....LOL
Starting on Monday. Was hoping they had ride on aerators🤦😑
Is the pesticide final test easy to take?
If you can operate a garden hose then you got this son.
I have an interview today, I'm glad there is a video showing what a day kinda looks like. Prepared for my interview!!
Dont do it! Find a reputable company!
What’s the cost? Is it an annual contract?
I'm pretty anxious, just waiting on the background verification email so I can take my drug test so I can start. 😁
Oops i'm late but congratz yo!
I must agree everyone working for trugreen does complain about the hours however ... I can't really complain considering I'm a young man ya know and making 750 to 900 a week is perfectly doable with my rent and monthly expenses.
You could be making 10,000k to 50,000k so you should complain tho.
Wow my true green person doesn’t do the seeding after the airing good job great video
Thanks.
You still working there? I have an interview tomorrow with a local company around me that does the same stuff. I was wondering about the average pay for this position?
18-22/hr
@@Martin-tb4oo Why did my area say 15.50 then wtf is that bs
I worked at TruGreen or Falsegreen as I call it for 6 months idk about any other location but the one I worked at down here in leesburg FL is GARBAGE never once was my manifest in order they never fixed anything I brought back to the shop and wrote a report on every stop was atleast 30 min away from each other every single yard I went to looked completely like shit burnt everywhere the plugs I installed all had sod worm in them because they watered them way to much and I literally don’t remember a yard I went to that I didn’t hear some type of complaints even the neighbors who had the service came up to the truck and complained to me nothing but a bunch of liars they tell customers they’re yards will be green in 6 months well I was there for 6 months doing aerations and plugs which was basically filling in all the burnt spots on the lawns and never once did I see a perfectly green lawn now I work for Massey I get paid ALOT better management is great things get fixed the same day I report them and I barley hear complaints this place was completely ass backwards smh
100% agree with you!
Lord Flaco how much do they even pay hourly
What’s beginner pay?
The branches in Florida need help i work for TruGreen the problem with the one i work for is the lack of training they give new employees they train guys on lawn who have never been around grass before for 5 days then put them out on their own and expect them to know everything about turf management. I had an advantage i was a spray tech for 12 years on a golf course and went to turf school for 2 years so i took to it better then most at my branch in Florida i have seen at least 15 people come and go in 6 months that ive worked there. My boss says its because people are lazy and dont wanna work and yeah thats true for some but some get out there and arent fully trained and get overwhelemed and say i quit.
@@jonathankubacki7446 yeah that happened to me i was overwhelmed and iquit after orientation talk about disappointment i know but the trainer i had barely explained how to use thw aerator abd that thing was more heavier than this videos!
When you are new 13-16 per hour is the norm. 2 or 3 years in you should be getting 18-22 an hour. If not, you are working at the wrong company. a productive tech makes 1300-3000 day in production and the fair rate for your labor is 12-16 percent. if you are getting less than that, find a company that actually values their techs. I've never met a Ryan machine that didn't break. They really suck.
You corp or franchise
time out! no where on the trugreen app is there a service for seeding! i’m in south jersey, why is that? wait? you seeded knowing it’s gonna rain that day????
LOL!!!! "when it's easy...…. the equipment fucks up" LOL!!!! Tell it like it is bro!!!!
Any idea how much they charge the customer for all you did ?
post a day in the life at your next job!! I"m subscribing dude!!! you are the man!!!!
This commentary is Hilarious!!!
Lol thanks!
🤣👍you're hilarious man
I’m from Los Angeles planing to
Move to pasco Washington, saw this company is hiring in burnank ,
Gonna apply
Did you do it?
They are offering 17 an hour in my area.... debating on whether I should take it considering I make 15 at my current job
Depends if you like outside work. The video you watched was the smallest property that one was less then 2000 sqft. I generally was doing on average 10,000 sqft yards. About 7-9 houses a day. It was also about a 2 hour ride each way to get to where I was working at that day. So gotta like driving a little bit. Also if it's 95 degrees 100% humidity with no shade you're still gonna be working 12 hours that day and be borderline heat stroke the whole day. If it's raining all day with thunderstorms the whole day you're still working 12 hours that day. If it gets cold where you live and it's 30 degrees and raining your still working 12 hours that day. Personally I hated every second at this job. But some people like it.
Thank you for the insight! I will think it through I have an interview set up for tomorrow. I’ve read reviews that they lay off during the winter time
Yeah they do lay off during the winter time but you usually still end up working till mid December and come back around mid March ish.
@@Teebz thanks for the insight Big K I stay working for my company on Monday is it easy to move up in the company by getting certified in some areas to get an extra dollar
The Big K I’m in Indiana and got offered and interview. It’s gonna be October tomorrow and winter is right around the corner. Do they offer unemployment since it snows here a lot? I’m curious cuz I don’t want to work for maybe 2 months then oops sorry u gotta go. It’s winter time.
Trugreen does my lawn but once I installed my security cameras I realized my guy does a half ass job. He treats my 100 x 225 yard in 15 minutes total. He tried to sell me tree and shrub care for $400. I turned him down and now all my shrubbery is dead including an expensive weeping cherry. Just spent $800 today and replaced it all. Thanks trugreen...no more, I'll do it myself
akaitsmedre same thing happened to me ,I’m really thinking about starting a civil suit
EVERYONE is catching TruGreen employees doing a bad job on their home security cameras. TruGreen is busted, half assing the job worked in 1999, not in 2019.
Thanks I'm actually applying for this job and wanted to know what it was going to be like
Same it doesn't seem to be a hard job seems hella easy dude was complaining alot
Lol if you actually do the job every day you realise you gotta do that 14-15 stops a day, walk eberhard twice and be out til 7 PM min-saturday. Very few people ive trained can handle this job.
Quit while your ahead. This job is the absolute worst...
He is not lying aaeration and overseeding is exhausting. DO NOT MAKE TRUGREEN A CAREER.
@@waynemercer4546 dam! I was just thinking about applying too lol. Seems like every job is BS smh lol
Nice job
Thanks!
Well I hope you got a new job that makes you happy because clearly you are not happy with this job and nothing is worse then being burned out at a job you hate .
Good luck , nice video .
Hey! Nice comment! And I do have an amazing job that I like right now! I get paid an amount that I really like. And I get full medical coverage for FREE lol they pay it so I don't have to. It's sick.
Where is this filmed
Do you still work for trugreen?
I worked for a month there and I would’ve liked it if there weren’t so many stops. Like your by yourself all day which is nice but it’s exhausting. You shouldn’t take breaks either you’ll fall behind pretty fast. I didn’t really hate it but sometimes it’s 6 days a week nearly 10 hours each day. And they want you to complete all the yards. So you just half ass the yards later in the day because your exhausted. My branch had some good managers but in others it varies I heard some others had asshole managers. I honestly think you should have one co worker with you to tag team a yard. Tbh I’m surprised they even have a lot of customers for 30 yards each day. It really seems like they wouldn’t have a lot but they do. And they expect you to walk 25,000 sq ft max a yard. They say that shouldn’t take longer than 16 min or something it’s ridiculous.
I've used aerators and I like them, but damn the fucking chain always falls off. Like even a brand new one I used it made in about 5 hours then popped the chain going up a hill. A Ryan brand. The bluebird one I used was more reliable but it was also slower.
I have phone interviews to hopefully I get thru
They keep reaching out to me. Now I know I’m use to heavy labor but man…. Is it worth it?
No not really worth it. They often advertise the "$1000 a week" which is true but what it really means is 12 hour days 6 days a week mandatory. So it was not worth it in my opinion.
I'm applying at trugreen and i hope i will hire soon. I'm from philippines
How'd it go?
Im going to apply how many yards you do a day ?
Aeration 10-15 a day. The fertilizer guys do 30-40+ yards a day.
So what happens if it snows? No work I assume?
Right thats what i want to know because they offered me a job
Nate Culp no work I just got hired there Waiting to start March 25th shit is dragging but that pay is worth it man
@@chvncx955 so it's a seasonal job? Only off during winter?
I like how my boys not even in uniform 😂😂
I asked for a uniform everyday for months. It's hard to get clothes when you're 7 ft tall tho. But it shouldn't have taken that long. ha
O trust me I know. I see new hires come in and have no uniforms for 2 weeks and when I was a manager I would get their sizes during the first day lol
@@Teebz your 7feet? Nice!
@@Teebz nba or comedian could go either way
How many yard do you do a day on average?
Okay so. Aerating and Overseeding your looking at about 8-12 yards a day. The aerating part is much more time consuming. If you get lucky and become a fertilizer guy you'll get 30+ yards a day. And that 30+ yards a day is wayyyy easy then doing aerating.
Imma be getting an interview today at 2:30 55 hours a week $14 a day I'm use to 55 hours anyways I'm 19 I can just start I have to take a dot test and a 90 question test. Anyone out their that started have any recommendations?
Good luck bud. Not the worst job. It makes you feel a little special in a way. I learned and now can identify like 40 different weeds from it. Lots of knowledge to be learned. Every time I drive past a house I am like oh that's nutsedge. ha. The unrelenting heat is what killed it for me. If you got the job grats! Even if you don't like it enjoy every second because life in beautiful! :D
What's the starting pay for this job in 2022?
Starting pay here In kC is 18. I have my second interview tomorrow
I don’t like workin too many hours too.. I have a life .. so yea !! Ima stick with 9-5 schedules
Nice.
What is the pay per hour
