Pros

Clients and employees are treated honestly. The training is very thorough. Safety is a big priority and it gets discussed and focused on every day. Pay raises happen more frequently than expected. I received two raises a few months apart for good performance. My fellow workers are a great bunch of people. I felt like all of the managers were real people and cared about me as a person. I didn't feel like a number and they did flex on some accommodations that I needed, especially when I was caring for a sick family member over a few months time.

Cons

There are very detailed rules to learn. Managers are fair but can seem a little particular or nit picky, like rating my work vehicle clenliness lower because of fast food bags on the floor. Arrival morning start time is one size fits all without flexibility which I why I had to leave this job. Another thing that annoyed me is that my manager kept trying to get me to better myself and move up by taking classes at Purdue or read a book. She couldn't understand why I wouldn't want to move up or learn more. I have two children, a father I needed to care for, and both my house and my father's house to take care of, so I really didn't have any extra energy to give. I wasn't completely direct about not wanting to read books and take classes, and I probably should have been more direct, but when I said every time that it wasn't a good time for me to undertake that, I don't appreciate being coached about it again six weeks later. Managers can be a little over eager to have coaching and development meetings and might not consider that some of us just want a job and don't want to take on more responsibility even if it eventually means more pay.

Pros

You could not ask for better team members to work alongside with. The field department manager is also a very nice person and was always available for calls, texts, or to sit down and talk. The training is very thorough and is always reviewed until everyone knows it cold. I watched some of my friends and team mates grow and get promoted. I enjoyed interacting with customers and being able to make decisions to help them. I also love working outdoors.

Cons

Hard work. Ladders and roofs. A lot of driving. Weather conditions could challenge your mood sometimes in extreme heat or cold. When animal emergencies arise or another employee calls out, day can become extremely long during spring and summer. Overtime pay was good, but at some point you just want to be able to relax and see friends.

Pros

Nice people, plenty of overtime.

Cons

Pay not equative to work load. Expected you to sell over the phone for zero commission. Owner hires her friends and puts them in executive positions, albeit I think she finally got fired. incredibly stressful environment with angry clients who complain non stop. You are also exposed to a lot of details related to dying animals. All the best people leave and only those who have no choice stay.

Pros

Your treated like a human if you work in the office.

Cons

Mandatory meetings even on a scheduled day off On call shifts, no way you are not doing at least one a week. And during spring and summer you will be out all day on route and out all night if on call. Pay compensation to work load is way to low. Owner is an entitled money Gruber that inherited the fully grown company from their father. The owner will find any way to save a buck even at the expense of employees safety. They dont care about OSHA standards since all work is off site. Field techs and construction crews are treated as sub human trash. Dont you dare be a white working class Male at this company, class wars are real y'all. One guy got a write up for not responding to a "goodmorning" from the office staff, and there whole field crew went on strike. Hilarious justice.

Pros

Its great fun working to catch all the different animals.

Cons

The hours, especially in the summer are crazy. I once worked from 6am to 2am the next day. Pay was barely livable and the only thing that made it tolerable was the over time. Low level management was good but upper management is not understanding and even creates false things to write you up about.

Pros

Some nice co-workers. Upper management and field technicians appeared very snobby. Pay was decent.

Cons

Parking. They talk slow about previous employees which doesn’t come off as professional.

Pros

Interesting line of work, employees are kind and enthusiastic, consistent hours, weekly pay, solid sense of collaboration. Many tenured employees who are open to change and teaching newcomers. Management has high standards, but that makes it a great entry-to-mid level job. You learn a lot about sales, business psychology, and standard operating procedures.

Cons

With it being a regional company, there wasn’t a ton of room for growth on the administrative side.

Pros

I've been here two years and it's been great for me. Last year I had the chance to participate in a fast track management training program that helped me grow more quickly. The program was great because it let me shadow in other departments and get to know other managers who are very kind encouraging and educational. I'm doing the second level in the fast track program this winter. I really like that the company uses its winter slower season to invest in the A plus players that it calls the eagles because they show eagle like performance by caring about clients, speaking with honesty, and living the company values like caring about the environment and safety. I would definitely recommend roles in this company to a close friend or family member who I care about. My manager is a very kind person who checks in with me one on one and every person on his team one on one every week. He models enthusiasm and integrity and I'm fortunate to work under someone who I respect and like. Since I'm about to do my second winter in the 90 day fast track program I'm taking on shift supervisor duties so I get to be in charge of two shifts each week for my team that is giving me leadership experience. My manager debriefs with me after each shift I lead so I feel supported and I'm able to ask him questions about anything unfamiliar. I haven't had a chance to work one on one with the owners of the company yet but they are very friendly and inspiring. They are involved in science and research and they are into protecting nature and the environment. There isn't anyone on the management team or even assistant managers who isn't friendly and totally cool. I especially like the assistant manager in my department because you will not meet a nicer person who is more eager to help.

Cons

Occasionally I have to call a customer who is unreasonable or mean but I tell myself that they might be experiencing pain somewhere in their life and it might just be manifesting in this conversation so I should just treat them with extra kindness because you never know what a person is going through. It still gets me feeling full of adrenaline when I'm getting yelled at by a customer though.
