Pros

Money was good. Family work atmosphere, and most employees cared about each other. Great benefits.

Cons

Alot of micromanaging was done. They are constantly checking where the car is, how long are you at your stops and never congratulate on sold jobs or completed jobs. Had a big problem with technicians not following the rules and they did what they wanted to get jobs done. During my time 4 different branch managers in 4 years . Large problem hiring and keeping technicians. Bed bug jobs weren't closed properly, termite techs sometimes wouldn't do a job because one thing was missing on paper work. Lots of turnover whether it was management or technicians. Never was asked for an exit interview. Also decided to change my pay structure saying that it was a "company decision" when no other regions or areas in company changed and then management said they can do what they want with our pay. Never received the additional pay I was supposed to receive after corporate training. Good company, does things right, but Dayton Ohio branch had many problems. I did what I could to get my sold jobs done because help was hard to get. Ended up getting into accident and then was in hospital with pneumonia from over working and stress of job. Seems like I wasn't allowed a job back after surgery and disability because of previous record because management couldn't get branch running properly and blamed issues on me vs taking responsibility and getting things done. Work life balance was awful as well. So many nights driving hour and half from Indiana back to Ohio.

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.
