Pros

They will pay for your testing but so will 95% of pest company’s in Houston.

Cons

Below average pay. Owners are not honest about standings of company. 100% sales oriented company everything is made to make the salesman’s job easier. They don’t care about the actual pest service. Little to no training for new techs. Little to no training for sales team in Houston. Turn around rate at home office is Atrocious. This is due to lack of training for office workers. Horrible Routing work that should take 5hours will probably take 8-10 because of routing. No growth plan so the money you make in year one is the same money you will make in year 10. They don’t provide any form of insurance. They open every branch up under a different LLC so they can get away with not offering health care insurance. This company makes slot of Promises that they don’t intend on keeping.

Fox Pest Control Response

Dear Former Team member, We are sorry that you were unhappy during your time with us. We appreciate your feedback, though we do wish to clarify a few points so that others reading your review will not be misinformed. Fox is unique because we are both a sales company and a service company. This dichotomy has occasionally lead to feelings of resentment from certain team members who feel "the other side" is getting all of the attention (service team feeling that sales is more favored and vice versa). This is something we are very aware of and put a great deal of energy into ensuring all team members feel valued. We also have specific training programs for Sales, Technicians, and Office staff. We continuously work to improve these programs so that our team members feel confident in fulfilling their responsibilities. Finally, it is true that we are a young company that cannot yet offer all of the employee benefits that more established companies can. However, as our customer base grows, so do our employee benefits. We constantly strive to uphold our company's core value of "Share the Profits." We regret that we did not part ways on better terms. We wish you the best going forward, and hope that you find a career that is fulfilling to you. Sincerely, Michael Stokes, Chief Operating Officer

Pros

It is a super awesome company with High values. They are great about making sure you are getting the hours you need even if it means the company is losing some money to take care of its employees. They have meetings dedicated to helping build a good culture and make you a better leader. They do a great job of investing in their people, they are also great about prioritizing what matters. If you have a really important family emergency or something of the sort, they are more focused on you that what's easier for them. great company and they treat you well. After working a certain amount of time they also offer paid time off if your a full time employee.

Cons

They pay isn't great but considering it is a job in a college town where a degree is not required, it is still pretty fair.
