Very heavy work load and uncomfortable work conditions that can be hazardous to your health in certain situations.

Termite and pest control specialist

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pay compared to other competitors and a great training program for employees. Also you will gain a good grasp of education related to the field you are in.

Cons

Work load is to heavy and management can be really disorganized depending on which branch you work in. The least experience people externally always get manage opportunities before employees. The hours can be very hectic during the warm weather and be prepared to work six days a week. You really cant make plans to do anything when having a position in the field unless you take off.

Pros

Good initial training through Atlanta...Glen Rollins is a wonderful CEO, company vehicle, tools and equipment are basically plentiful, comfortable uniforms, flexibility to make your own schedule.

Cons

INCOMPETENT MANAGERS that will lie, cheat, and basically steal from you and the company right under their eyes and corporate can't see it ! Due to poor management moral is horribly low, you will work 7 days a week, no thanks, then they forget to pay you, lose your check, finally you get your check, then they forget your commission! POOR POOR MANAGERS !

Pros

the people are good and the customers aren't too bad and the pay is higher compared to other customer service jobs

Cons

everyone has way too much work and now they started micromanaging our time off phones like it's our fault they don't have enough people and they took our commission away so they want us to do more work and get less money
