Pros
There is a lot of potential, and they train well. You get a percentage of your route's production plus sales minus cancels. If you have a lot of cancels, your paycheck suffers. If you run your route and nobody wants a termite inspection, your paycheck suffers. Some individuals made 9k per month. Some only around 2. There is no need to promote. If you do well you can bring home $5k per month to your family.
Cons
Lots of hours, and if you get unlucky the pay can be very low. You are stuck in bed bugs, rat feces, roaches, and other nasty stuff. You will suddenly be given stops on your full day that you can't complete, and because you didn't make it to them on time you will be penalized, and customers will be upset. There is no real moving up from this position. Managers commonly make less than a good pest tech with a dialed in route.
