Pros

Some scheduling flexible around serving homeowners and home life. Some flexibility in how going to find new business and winning new customers. Can expect a certain amount of income guaranteed due to base pay.

Cons

As typical with most companies with sales teams there is no value in being on a “Sales Team.” There is no shared monetary reward for the local sales team out of one office selling more than any other team in the state. The managers encourage competition against other team mates as a motivator which is really out dated lazy style of sales management. The typical reward is a fifty dollar gift card which is taxed at a high percentage. The card ends up netting $30 dollars. This only grows resentment and anger when sales people who are not having a good month sees the fellow “Team Mates” reaping all the rewards.

We appreciate the 5 years of service to our company!!! Keep up the hard work! Since you are a tenured employee, you probably have some great ideas and insight that could help us improve. We encourage you to reach out to your Division HR Director Kevin Whitehead or your Regional / Division Sales Manager to share your perspective.

Pros

Opportunity to work for a well-established and respected industry leader with a strong reputation. Competitive pay with performance-based incentives and opportunities to increase earnings. Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development to build valuable skills. Clear career advancement opportunities into leadership, management, or specialized roles. Excellent teamwork and support from experienced colleagues and managers.

Cons

Long hours and overtime may be required during peak pest control seasons. Daily exposure to pests, insects, rodents, and tight or uncomfortable spaces may not be suitable for everyone. Meeting sales or performance goals can be stressful, especially in customer-facing roles. Work schedules may include evenings or weekends to accommodate customer needs.
