Pros

Paid training. Decent training about bugs. Really try and paint a picture of success by putting you up in hotel for training and buy you food all the time.

Cons

Once the training honeymoon ends, your world will turn upside down. Save your training pay, your car will need it. You will drive your own vehicle 1000 miles a week. You will make about $1800-2000 net a month, including gas pay. You will spend about $500 of that on gas, need an oil change at least once a month, and plan on spending $600 in tires a year. You will work 70 hours a week. When all said and done after paying for gas, you might make $10/hr. You will make money only between March-July. You will try and UPSELL all current customers and badger them to buy insulation. Annual reinspections are sales pitches for insulation. Depressing, soul destroying environment...Fellow OSP's are miserable. Only 1 OSP at my branch worked there longer than 2 years....Was told I would work 1 maybe 2 Saturdays a month....Always 3 Saturdays, no less. As one person said, if you need a job, do it for 3 months and get out fast....Outdated DOS computer system. It seems this companies income is from people over 60 years of age who have had Terminix for 20 + years...No customers under 50 I ever met....Once these people die off, Terminix value will plummet. Constant arguing internally between employees and managers....Easily the most hostile work environment I have ever seen. Micro management is an understatement. Don't believe me? Try it.....

Pros

Take home work truck and okay benefits.

Cons

we used to get a couple days off the end of the month to help recoup, but that's gone now Also Employees are pressured to submit sales leads or risk being scheduled for mandatory Saturday shifts. Stops are often completed early in the system to improve performance metrics, creating inaccurate reporting. This leaves fewer scheduled services for the following month, forcing employees to scramble to find additional stops just to meet their production goals.
