Pros

The varied job duties and customers you meet.

Cons

They only care about SALES. If you are a technician, salesman or manager all the care about is SALES. You can be a pitiful technician but if SALES are good you're a hero. Managers can have every other category be weak but if SALES are high they hi five you. Its a SALES company pretending to be a service organization.

Pros

you love coming home everyday

Cons

because you feel like dying while you work. on you all day for sales. serious shady stuff. if you sell you are the hero if you don't they want you gone. don't care if you lie to customers as long as sales come in or not your gone. don't come here unless you are shady and don't mind taking advantage of old people and lying. services are way to expensive and they want you to push 10k sales so people can redo their attics.... this is pest control not hvac but if you don't sell insulation your gone!

Pros

Hours 8-5ish monday-friday w some Saturdays. Company vehicle and gas card (but you still have a charge for them on your check)

Cons

1. They are a dishonest company. You are expected to push services on every customer every time even if they dont need them by creating a problem and urgency that isn't there. 2. You receive little to no training whatsoever. Pass your certification and figure the rest out on your own 3. Pay is commission only with gaps as long as months with low results out of your control. 4. Benefits are offered but unaffordable. 5. You have to pay monthly for your own uniform and it takes them months to get one for you, so for the first few months you are ruining your own clothes. 6. Management is clueless and tells you to follow the process without giving a clear understanding of what the process is.

We are gravely concerned with the notes in this post. Every associate has a vast amount of training on solution-focused sales based on each customers needs. We do not condone pushy or dishonest tactics and in fact, those need to be reported accordingly. If you will consider share more details so we can investigate these matters further, please contact: employeesupport@rollins.com
