Operations manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Good job and new manager has turned the place around.

Cons

1. Make you pay for take home company truck now used to be part of the job 2. Took away my managers sales bonus and he was not happy about it 3. All managers share a credit card for the entire branch 4. Bonuses are not what they used to be 5. Cuts are made company wide every quarter all to save Dales job and to show a shareholder profit yet the CEO makes millions with tones of bonuses and extras while little guys get crap pay

Business Outlook

Pros

Many dedicated people at the company that are long tenured from the legacy companies that have a ton of industry knowledge.

Cons

Its now a race to the bottom in terms of service and quality and taking care of your employees. Goals are given that cant be achieved and there is very little support from anyone.

Great teammates, but unstable leadership prioritizes profits

Worked in it department

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great teammates, excellent staff. Knowledgeable and hard workers, focused on solving problems and making sure the company thrives.

Cons

Completely unstable C suite, focused on bottom line and profit to the exclusion of customers and staff. Once they cleaned house with the IT management, they implemented sycophants that just back the CEO, regardless of the effectiveness to support the long term prosperity of the business. Dale Asplund is a terrible CEO who does not understand the customers or the business of a profitable landscaping company. Since the departure of the Brickmans and the Sperbers this company has had no compass or leadership that puts customers and people first, it's all about making money for Private Equity.
