Fit Turf - Fit Turf Lawn & Tree LIARS! THIEVES! DONT USE THEM OR WORK FOR THEM!! TOTAL RIP OFF! TERRIBLE COMPANY! NO ETHICS! CHEAPEST PRODUCTS! Centennial, Colorado

As a current employee of Fit Turf in Denver, I feel compelled to respond to this report.  I have worked for Fit Turf for close to a year and find the comments made in the previous entry to be completely questionable. 

I have worked in this industry in this area for over 12 years and have never had a better experience than the one I’ve had thus far with Fit Turf.  The compensation is by far better than any I’ve received elsewhere and I am treated with what I feel is a great deal of respect by the all of the managers as well as the owner. 

In my position, I have a lot of customer interaction and perform the company’s range of services for its customers – the range of products that I apply (including a spreader sticker with every weed control application) are of a higher quality than those used at any of the companies that I’ve worked for previously – including some of the biggest ones out there.  I would say that of the customers that I encounter every day, 95% of them are extremely satisfied with the results they’ve received and from what I’ve seen first hand, the company makes every effort to ensure the satisfaction of each of its customers.  In fact, I’ve spent the entire day today and yesterday performing free services that were offered to customers earlier in the season as a promotional offer – so I really do not know what to say about some of the claims made other than the fact that they are flat-out false!  I work very hard day-in and day-out and take great care of Fit Turf’s customers – my customers. 

If the person who wrote that is who I think it is (which it is), he is lucky that he kept his position for as long as he did.  I and the rest of the technicians, as well as the office staff, had endless headaches through out the year because of services that he tried adding to current customer’s accounts (to make a commission) that they never agreed to – AT ALL!!!   If anything, the fact that the company was willing to part ways with a big sales producer because of his unethical practices and mistreatment of its customers should support their commitment to doing good business.  Things don’t always work out with every employer / employee relationship, but in this case, this guy brought this on himself – no doubt about it!   

I wanted to respond because I felt that the previous comments were unfair and the result of the bitterness of a dishonest individual who did as much harm as he did good – at least since I’ve been here.  Personally, I look forward to a long and promising career with Fit Turf – they have a loyal customer base and do things the right way all the way around for their customers and employees.  When they moved all of their operations to Denver, they found new positions for each of their employees in Michigan with similar companies and have built their business largely through the referrals of happy customers.  The owner is a well valued member of the industry community who started his first company out of a garage 20 years ago and built it to a successful and respected company – employing hundreds of people along the way.  He has always been straight forward and honest with me and I know that our customers and I (and my family) are in good hands.

After a year of employment in the industry, you are much less than qualified to critisize the owner, management, or business, let alone to write any sort of middle school level "essay" on how you were done wrong, or weren't able to make a living. 

Anybody with half a brain and the god-given right to communicate with another human being can make a good living working for Paul.  All it takes is a bit of common sense and a good work ethic. You obviously lack both. 

I haven"t worked for Paul in over two years but the knowledge I have gained from working whithin his organazation has proven invaluable to my career and paycheck. 

My only advice to you is, grow up kid.  Some people are born to sell, others are born to bitch about being sold. 

Good luck Paul

As a current employee of Fit Turf, I vouch for the integrity and quality of this company.  The previous employee who filed the initial report seen here was fired, because he was putting through "sales" that were never authorized by our customers.  He acted in an extremely selfish manner, completely disregarding the well-being of this company, co-workers, and the people this would ultimately affect here in the greater Denver area.  After we realized what his antics were, we changed a few of our policies related to sales; most importantly, we put one person in charge of auditing all of our sales.  That person is me, my name is Richard, and if you've ever called us here at the office, chances are you've spoken to me.  A portion of my pay is related to keeping customer cancels at a minimum, thus, I have a strong incentive to make sure that our sales are authorized and fully understood by our customers.  Paul Wagner owned a company back in Michigan called Masters Green; a company that he grew to over 20,000 customers.  TruGreen recently bought it out a couple years ago, and they are still doing business as Masters Green.  This should tell you that the company was extremely reputable and respected within Michigan.  I've known Paul for several years and I will tell you that he is a man with integrity and committment to his customers and staff alike.  100% of the staff here at Fit Turf live within the greater Denver area.  We are not a huge marketing machine, we are a small company of just 13 people.  We are currently getting into our second full year here and are excited for the opportunity to prove ourselves as a great company and back up all of our claims.  I'm proud to be an employee here at Fit Turf, and I hope you can see through the fog that this review has created and understand that we aren't here to get you, we're here for you. 

Cheers,

Richard
