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

      Termite and pest control specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      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.

      Grunt work

      Account manager

      Pros

      Supportive management and flexible schedule.

      Cons

      Poor travel compensation which generally does not cover average gas costs. Paychecks are set on the 15th and 25th of each month and lose of one month of base pay/travel stipend per year. When a client cancels a contract before the agreed term, commissions will be taking out of your next paycheck.

      Territory too wide, and preferential treatment towards certain reps

      Pros

      The freedom to work on your own was ok, and at least they gave a 300 dollar a month car allowance.

      Cons

      There was clear preferential treatment to a certain rep in the office I worked in. My Sales Manager that hired me said I would receive approximately 20 leads a week and then I would fill in the rest. No problem, except I was MAYBE, MAYBE given 1 lead a week, and that was a BIG MAYBE.
