I still never heard anything else. I calld the number. They asked me if I had talked to anybody I gave them the name. They said they would give a message and that was the end of it. I sure would have loved to get that 100+ properties. However after this experience I do not know. It amazes me that a company of that size would operate that way.

They've probably moved on to the next guy. Sometimes you have to make snap decisions then and there. Well it's a tough break but something else may come up.

We just signed back on with them got first job today. Was told when we did the phone interview that they have 77 work orders past due.
Things have changed with them since I was a vender 2 years ago.
Make sure you read the documents they send you so you know what to bid on and what is normal. And how the price on grass cuts work.

The pics they want are very simple but make sure you get every one they want.

Safegaurd is a very good company to work for they pay on time and are very easy to get along with.

If you have any questions about anything let me know.

Don't let the initial grass cuts stress you out. Get a yard stick to show how tall the grass is do you get the over a foot pay.

And get ready to work a lot.

I tried to message you but your box is full and you can't receive any messages or that is what the prompt said?

I got a call back from that recruiter today. They are sending me e paperwork. If I understand correctly there will be over 100 properties in my zone. Will I have a person that I communicate with or is it just a computer generated system?

Cool. You going to be a busy man.

We have been having problems with their iPhone app. They say it is being worked on.

You will have a regional manager that you will deal with.

Nice job. Getting an interview to go through with a recruiter can be like pulling teeth! I'm not worried yet, I don't think there's a lot of competition in my zone. I think the recruiter for my zone is on vacation!

Where are you at?

There was 2 in my zone. We have been getting a lot of over due work orders. I guess the other guy can not keep up.

A few years ago we had 4 zones in Alabama it was crazy. Would get to the first one as the sun came up and left the last one when it was to dark to take a pic. 7 days a week for 4 months.
