Like any company, Cook’s Pest Control has areas that can be challenging, such as the physical demands of the job, the learning curve when first starting out, or the time management required during busier seasons. However, I’ve found that these challenges come with valuable, interpersonal rewards. The initial training is base level and does not equip you with the skills to succeed, and the direct leadership team, (supervisors) are far less than supportive when it comes to helping you grow and improve unless you are a chosen favorite; example: Supervisors giving their "favorites" a heads up concerning what stops of theirs are going to be QA'D., see #1. Advice for management. The company does however provide stability, if you're willing to make personal sacrifices with little to no reward beyond monetary gain. The work culture is relatively negative, and sometimes makes overcoming the daily challenges less than worth the sacrifice.
Equipment:
I believe our team could be more effective if we had consistent access to the proper equipment. At times, a lack of in-service or adequately stocked equipment makes it harder to complete jobs efficiently and provide the best service for our customers. Investing in more equipment would not only improve safety and job performance but also help us deliver the level of quality that Cook’s wants to be known for.
