I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at TruGreen (Indianapolis, IN) in Mar 2014
Interview
I applied directly through the TruGreen Careers website. I received an email instructing me to take an online assessment test shortly after I applied. Approximately two weeks later, I received a phone call from the local HR person asking me to come in for an interview with the GM, HRM, and Regional HR Mgr. The interview was relaxed and informal with very few difficult questions. Shortly after the panel interview, I was flown down to the TruGreen testing facility in Memphis. The facility appears to be a regular office on the exterior without any company markings on it whatsoever. There are multiple rooms inside with one-way, mirror-like, pictures so the staff can view your every move. The assessment lasts a full eight hours and is designed to show all of your strengths and weaknesses. I tested alongside current GM's and others applying for GM positions. I heard very discouraging information about the company from the current GM's during our breaks. Most of them seemed to be disgruntled and overworked. They spoke of high turnover rates and poor customer service in general. Regardless of how well you do or don't do in the assessment, don't expect to hear from them. I would expect a company to at least send a prefabricated email to its applicants if they decide to go with another candidate. Especially when they spend almost $1,000 in travel expenses for the assessment. I don't believe it would've been a good fit for me.

Question 1
What would you do if an employee who was previously terminated wanted their job back?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at TruGreen
Interview
I was told the interviews would be lengthy but this is just simply a waste of time and money. 2 screens and up to 4 interviews? Also assessments before screen and after as well. Waste of time for both the company and future employee. Your corp personell dont have anything better to do than ask the same questions 4x?

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at TruGreen (Lees Summit, MO) in Mar 2014
Interview
Started with a phone interview followed by an online personality and cognitive reasoning/math skills assessments. The initial in-person interview was with the Sales Manager and was designed to be more informative than a typical screening process. The second interview was with the General Manager and focused on my skills and experience. It was a very comfortable, low pressure interview and the GM shared several stories of what led him to his current position…and allowed me ample time to describe my work history.

Question 1
Both interviews were free-flowing without the stereotypical questions designed to “stump” me or cause an uncomfortable situation designed to “see how I react”. Questions during both interviews were more of the: “so tell me about yourself….” questions which allowed me to paint a picture of my strengths and accomplishments as I saw fit.
