Pros

Take home work vehicle,cell phone.

Cons

Everything else. Way to many negatives to write here. For starters,they do not value the customer service aspect of the SERVICE Specialist position. They recently went to a nonsensical pay system where you have to reach a targeted dollar amount for every hour you work in order to make a good living ....Really? In what universe is that a good idea?so,the more hours it takes me to run my accounts the less I make,even though the reason that I spend extra time is in order to take care of the customers problems like they pay us to,or to drive to accounts hours away from where I live? Oh,wait,to be paid well we have to sell extra products and services even though we are not salesmen and dispite the fact that we do the dirty work,dealing with dangerous chemicals and the creepiest of the crawleys?Really?? Throw in the facts that they expect you to be in call 24\7 for free,there is no time for literally ANYTHING else in your life except Ecolab,you get Looney toon pages at any hour,management is clueless and\ or dishonest with the employees,a new person will work themselves to death for peanuts because they will have to take everyone's infestations while these same people lie to them and say they are their friends,they set you up to fail,the list goes on and on. This is a dirty,unsafe,way underpaid and under underappreciated,stressful,laborious,nonstop 24\7 nightmare of a job that has taken almost all of the joy out of my life.......

Pros

A job and make some money

Cons

Everything. You are on your own to sink or swim. If you have a family or a life outside of work you and kiss them goodbye because you will never see them again. You will drive 5 hour one way and work 9 hours in the hot sun with only a 30 minute lunch break and then drive 5 hours back home only to have to do it again the next day which is only a few more hours.
