Pros

good money and that's about it. Insurance is not that good.401k.

Cons

Very unorganized in rural areas. They do not keep you in one place and if you live in rural areas you will have to drive an hour and back for one service. This job is Very stressful. I can not even explain how stressful this job can be. Phone rings a lot from customers while you are trying to do your job. Managers do not care and they offer no incentives to boost morale. You have to pay to use the company truck and bring it home.

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.
