Pros

401K match, challenging work, always busy, teaching culture

Cons

Non stop micro managing. Excessive long hours for managers, sales. I left five years ago but just met with 2-3 former co-workers who say it's worse than ever. Sales people still hired then fired faster than you can eat a breakfast sausage, techs have a million responsibilities. Sounds like they still work 55 hours a week on salary. Still have to answer company phone 24X7X365.

Pros

You must be self developing

Cons

24/7 on call. Stressful environment and lack of training for your role. Goals are set with unrealistic expectations and turn over is extremely high for techs.

Pros

Decent pay wage Co-workers are great to work with its a rewarding job when you help customers decent vacation time and perks

Cons

Corporate has their head stuck in their A**. they expect way too much out of us termite techs. for example, we are expected to work in attics in 90 degree weather, with no plan on unexpected delays. also safety equipment is hard to get as an employee for whatever reason. corporate constantly will harass supervisors and managers when quotas are not being reached (like there isn't a recession currently). Very long hours. i leave home at 6am and wont get back until at least 6pm, no paid travel time before and after working. They will preach safety and follow the label but will turn a blind eye to make sure a job gets done. there is no bonuses or commissions but yet they expect some degree of selling even when you have an overbooked schedule.
