Pros

You won't be short on hours. I had more offers for overtime hours than I know what to deal with. Good people do work here--just not for long.

Cons

- First and foremost: your safety is an afterthought at best, and training is a joke. They'll have you spraying your first day of training with minimal protection. No face masks because "it scares the clients". No water coolers on the trucks in summer, no means of eye irrigation. One shoebox of litter for a spill kit. You will be pressured to treat outside of label temperature ranges and in wetland areas to make the district numbers look good. - Alarming staff turnover, in field and office positions both. - No amount of profit is good enough, no sales record is good enough. They do not care about the quality of your work, only your RPH/ speed. - They overcharge and overenroll clients and understaff their districts. They tout corporate advancement, but I didn't care for the cost to my personal ethics. Ethical land stewardship is not their priority.

We would like to begin by inviting you to identify yourself to HR since so many of your observations are inconsistent with what we see working in the business every day. Safety is a top priority with daily safety huddles and weekly safety meetings for all field crews. Initial training for field specialists is a two week process for those that are new to the industry followed up by periodic ongoing training as necessary. Our employees do not wear masks because we intentionally do not use any products that require a respirator to be worn. Our crew members prefer to bring their own water supply with them, and most branches have an ice dispenser available for crews. Every truck is required to have bottles of eye wash, spill kits and state-of-the-art equipment for safety and efficiency, and all label requirements are followed to the letter.
