Pros

A paycheck. Depending on who you work with, you might learn something from them. The service vehicles are decent.

Cons

It's a corporate monster that will bleed you dry for every ounce of profit sucking the life out of you and everyone around you while you slave away to make the Rollins family and other major shareholders richer.

Not horrible?

Business Outlook

Pros

At its best, it's fulfilling, the wages vary tremendously according to the job, and can be very rewarding depending on the circumstances.

Cons

The wages depend heavily on the job. It's a corporate company, and they're very sales minded as a company. The customers suffer as a whole from the overly pushy experience of the way the company presents itself. It makes being the middle man, or a tech, really unreasonably difficult sometimes. I faced a lot of corporate jargon, nonsense, and often felt like management wasn't on my side as an employee.
