Pros

Excellent pay for the type of work you do. Incentive to sell or have leads on new jobs by getting a percentage of the revenue for that particular job at the end of the month. Good health insurance and 401K plans. Get to operate out of a company vehicle and get a gas card. Plenty of uniforms, jackets, and boots provided for you. Chemicals and tools provided for you.

Cons

No cons that I have seen so far, but your schedule determines how many hours you put in, and so if you are done with all of your jobs by around 3:00PM, you'll have to ask for more to get your hours in.

Pros

Freedom. Once you get through training and demonstrate you can handle things, you are given the freedom to get your sales. The commission/basepay structure is well done.

Cons

Lots of paperwork to keep track of. Pest control can get messy sometimes. Lots of drive time. You can be at the mercy of your technician at times.
