Pros
Friendly work environment, enjoyed the local work culture and fellow employees, a chance to work at your own pace with incentives to increase work volume and sales. Great philosophy for pest management. One on one training, knowledgeable staff and trainers. Always something new, never boring, plenty of challenges and chances to turn lemons into lemonade. Chance to work with people in the office and independently in the field. Can set your own pace.
Cons
Low pay, despite extra work and sales. Lack of transparency between upper management and staff. High turn over rates, lack of stable, dependable management. Company claims it's all about solving problems, not about sales, but the underlying focus is always on sales. The only way you can improve your meager paycheck is through selling. Lack of follow up from management to customers. Big pump up talks and showy prizes for selling, but minimal actual benefits to employees. Only 5 days off in the first year. Commission pay means no pay for holidays. Low charges on old accounts means minimal commission for very needy customers. Payments for uniforms and boots come out of your own paycheck despite the way they make it sound like a shiny perk. The pep talks sure do sound encouraging, but the follow-through just didn't show.
