Pros

Great income. Little micromanaging. Company vehicle, uniforms, and continuing education. Commission percentage great. Engaged and supportive management who rewards success c

Cons

Lead scheduling issues and mistakes from call center to branch to inspection schedule. Only paid after job is paid for and completed, so much carries over to next month commission.

Pros

Great service managers, techs and admin. Pest control training is superb. Every day is different so it is not boring.

Cons

There is no sales training or support. In order to advance, there is a 98% chance of being relocated. Customer service is a joke. Management is unrealistic and unsupportive. You are completely on your own. Charge backs will kill you even when it is the tech's fault. After the 2nd year your quota is increased 150%. The salary is well below the market average for experience required. All marketing is done at the national level, no community involvement. Only position in the company where you have to earn a company car.
