Pros

The money was good because i worked my butt off, put in many unpaid overtime hours

Cons

do not work here it is a very poor place to work, no equipment, poor leadership. Mgr sits in his office all day trying to look pretty in his suit. At one point mgr brought in a car lift to store his fancy cars.

Pros

I wake up most days excited and pumped to start my day. I started off as a Trainee. I worked hard to obtain my license and became an exterminator. I leveled up not to long after that after i finished my degree and within 3 years I have achieved the highest status of technician in the branch. There is a lot of growth, recogination and appreciation when you work for Abell. I Grew up in the early 2000s with shows about evolution & becoming the best version of your self. When you work for Abell you will self actualize to reach your potential. I am humbled with the life opportunity and fulfillment they have provided to me. Thank you

Cons

Some days are a write off due to dynamic nature of the work Emergency calls, Vehicle issues Hand held or phone issues

Pros

For the most part Abell Pest Control employees are genuine and nice. Employees help each other out and its a nice casual working environment. Benefits are not bad. Hours are pretty good depending what job you have at head office, the hours are 8:30a.- 4:30p, Mon-Fri. There are a couple of annual employees events throughout the year.

Cons

You can have a job but not a career at Abell. There is no growth, no succession planning. The job you start with is the only one you are going to have while you work there. There is no movement in head office. People have been in the same positions for 5, 10, 15+ years. Annual raises are not based on individual performances. All employees (non-management) get the same cost of living raise no matter what your performance was that year. There is high turnover amongst the younger generations. There is too much of an emphasis on sales at this company. Employees who are not in a sales position are treated like second class citizens and are not recognized for the hard work they do and their contributions to the company. It can be very demoralizing.
