TruGreen's Parent Company to Lay Off 250

ServiceMaster was bought by a private equity company last summer.

TruGreen’s parent company, ServiceMaster Co., will lay off 250 people at the end of the year, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported earlier this month.

The cuts include 50 positions from its Memphis, Tenn., corporate headquarters, 90 call center jobs in California and 120 positions across all operating companies, the paper reported.

Private equity group Clayton, Dubilier & Rice bought the former public company for $5.5 billion last year.
