Pros

Decent benefits, the right amount of customer interaction

Cons

Depending on where you are, there’s a lot of travel and you aren’t compensated for drive time or required online training. Expect to be out till dark in the summer and way past dark in the winter. Average drive time to the first job ranges up to 2 and 1/2 hours. Also management is practically non existent our secretary runs everything. Everyone needs a raise.

Pros

Opportunity to work for a well-established and respected industry leader with a strong reputation. Competitive pay with performance-based incentives and opportunities to increase earnings. Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development to build valuable skills. Clear career advancement opportunities into leadership, management, or specialized roles. Excellent teamwork and support from experienced colleagues and managers.

Cons

Long hours and overtime may be required during peak pest control seasons. Daily exposure to pests, insects, rodents, and tight or uncomfortable spaces may not be suitable for everyone. Meeting sales or performance goals can be stressful, especially in customer-facing roles. Work schedules may include evenings or weekends to accommodate customer needs.
