Pros

I would not recommend to my worst enemy.

Cons

Company is unprofessional. Posted salary range of $80k+ but will only tell you in person they pay $1000/month base. Yes, that is correct $1,000/month ($250/week) and the rest of the money you “might” make is commission. Not even the worst part. After being “hired” I was told to onboard the next day. When I arrived, no one had a clue what was going on. Instead of onboarding me, the manager asked me to help him and his salesman unload a truck delivery (still not officially hired/onboarded) as of yet. I don’t know if this was some kind of “let’s see if they’ll be a team player test”. After this bizarre interaction I declined and left.

Pros

Some of the best training in the industry, if you're looking to get into pest control it isn't the worst place to start. They will set you up decently for independence in the field but not nearly everything. You will be learning as you go. Quality of life is dependent on how staffed your location is and how component your managers are. don't be surprised if you get a lot of overtime and weekend work every other weekend.

Cons

Saturdays, Managment, Corporate culture, Commute maybe
