Pros

Awesome team, managers and support.

Cons

It's a boomer company so expect low pay and low raises.. 25 cent raise every April while your branch brings in anywhere from $200k-$300k let that sink in... Long hours for low pay. They make you seem so happy that you can take your truck home like bro you know all tech routes bring in $20k each and you want us to be proud for "YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TRUCK HOME"

Pros

Great benefits, can set own schedule, company car, fast reimbursement for expenses.

Cons

Internal communication needs improvement company wide. Typical big company issues of number crunchers and shot callers are too far removed from actual service employee level needs.

Upper management and call centers need vast improvement

Business Outlook

Pros

The training is excellent, the pay can be good under certain circumstances, local management cares to a degree

Cons

Call center doesn’t look at your schedule before scheduling literally anything, new customer services will disrupt schedules on a daily basis, upper management will institute new systems and policies without letting you know what’s happening, your schedule for the day can change at a moment’s notice(good luck scheduling any personal appointments), time off pay is weird, you never know what your next paycheck will be unless you’re extremely extremely organized(and even then good luck), lower level management often gets hired from outside and have zero pest control experience
