There is a big difference between the company they claim to be and the company they really are

Route manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Training is good , people is good, dealing with customers is good 99% of the time

Cons

On their web employment opportunities they don't mention , they charge for vehicle use... YES! you have to pay to use the company's truck!! They don't really care about customers or employees , it's all about the numbers. They are always under staffed . they will drop 5 existing customers for a new customer and that is unfair for the customer and the tech that has to apologize for the company absurd policy. Computers don't work that good, not even mention the internal network, you are supposed to be able to access from home but it is so outdated that no computer 5 years or newer will be able to access it.

Pest control route manager (commercial)

Business Outlook

Pros

Other techs are good people who feel your common grievances and you occasionally were actually helping people.

Cons

Total micromanagement. You will never have a personal life and you will become an orkin slave. You constantly have a break label laws from middle management pressures. There is never enough time to do your job properly bc they try to get you to do 17 stops a day. There is no loyalty and you are completely disposable. Ladies in the office are miserable and the managers are sales men who don't know anything about pest control. They don't value their customers and you have to constantly answer for stupid company policies. Run away you will have no life
