Pros

I had a great manager. So my experience was pretty pleasant. Starting pay is good, benefits are phenomenal if you can get into their stock program DO IT. And the bonuses are really good if you hit your numbers.

Cons

Work load for my position was a lot, and if you don’t have the right management and team it could be difficult. Lots of high volume call days and going back and forth with people on the price

Pros

Wide scope of opportunity for learning about what happens within the pest control industry. Routine operations on a daily/weekly/monthly/annual basis assist in gaining significant practice in expected processes.

Cons

Training is housed nationally but specific tasks are determined locally, which means that not all the training applies to the role for a particular branch and there are other things being applied to the role for a particular branch that are not part of the training. Too many locations in which to go looking for answers/information. No clear outline for the expectations of the role by which one might gauge performance over the course of the year for one's annual review. The CSS reports directly to the branch manager, which puts the CSS in the odd position of being in the office but not part of the main team. In our office, this has resulted in frequently being on the outside of information loops, and that gap is larger when there are only service managers available in the absence of a branch manager.

Pros

Production and commission percentage are nice once you make your required $12,500-$12,750 a month for your route.

Cons

I personally had no such training being a commercial tech. I took over one of the REGIONS biggest accounts at the time and had only a couple weeks worth of shadowing for that account alone. And I had to complete 100 other accounts throughout the month. (Which I never once got the chance to visit while “training”).
