Pros

Free car is given after driving modules or passed. Driver safety is emphasized heavily. There is a significant ability to make decent money in this role.

Cons

You have to pay for the vehicle for work. Long hours. No work life balance. Too much volume to properly filter. The company, at large, does not invest enough in its people. Extreme turnover! Most of the good employees get run out or burned out due to lack of support. Historically people will be hired to fill positions due to the desperate need of seeking out new business and performing it’s daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual bonus-dependent work. Hands on training doesn’t truly exist outside of the probationary period once you’re hired and watch a bunch of videos and go to “school “most of any type of learning you have to do on your own. Management shows little interest of its individual team members outside of their Productivity.

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.
