Pros

Training classes on computer are good. Manager don't know anything.

Cons

Awful management. Micro managed. Payroll is constantly wrong with your check and Its always in orkins favor. Sales people and management are some of the most crooked people you will ever meet. Pray for all of them!

Pros

Great people and a great team

Cons

In order to make any money you have to work super long and unreasonable hours. The older office lady will also always mess up your schedule and will not inform some customers that you’re even coming for a home inspection. If you’re good at your job you will not be able to switch positions. Also lost money from vacation time and the “salary” makes no sense

Pros

Work from home would be the only pro

Cons

No health insurance, no benefits, Micromanagement, monitored constantly, no paid time off, worked till 10pm, weekends. I was a top rep and would finish top 3 each month on a team of 25+ reps. Management constantly monitors your calls. My supervisor would constantly pull me into meetings and nitpick my calls. They’re very strict what you can and can’t say. You need to close 60% of your calls, sell a certain amount of mosquitos and a lot other metrics you have to hit. I hit all my metrics and I still would get micromanaged with anything and everything even with bathroom breaks. You start out as a SEASONAL but that doesn’t guarantee you a permanent position. I wasn’t offered a permanent position and I was a top rep. Others I started with were low performing and they got offered permanent positions. Nepotism is VERY REAL here. My advice is either don’t take the job if you already have something good or it’s a in-between job till you find something better.
