Pros

Made some friends from co-workers

Cons

They expect you to work for nothing, and don’t even think about asking for a raise. They don’t have a good business structure and there is only gossip. If you are deemed as a favorite you will be okay but if not you are micromanaged until you quit.

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

the job was close to my parents house which made it easier to get to.

Cons

Approved Paid Vacation Days then months later took them out of my paycheck. Hostile work environment Lack of security (People can just walk in threaten other co workers and leave. Management is never on the same page. One boss tells you one thing while another says otherwise. Poor compensation- Adding multiple important jobs to my job description but paying me the same as before. (scheduling interviews, Handling the most irate customers) Lack of communication on tasks Treating the Men and women in the office poorly compared to the technicians that service the homes. Lack of parking making it difficult to get to work on time. For Example getting to work at 755 when your shift starts at 8am but can't find parking so you have to drive back down the hill and park down the street and walk back.
