All Empty Promises - Technician HomeShield Pest Control (CA) Employee Review

The work environment is positive. Hard work is rewarded and you are expected to work. Good benefits, the managers care, great work/life balance.Company is growing and expanding.

Normal growing pains in any business.

Owner recognizes the need for investment in training. And provides training! Loaded with inbound leads (booked 2 weeks out) Company vehicle was new and equipment worked well Lots of freedom!

The investment in the training was unfortunately Grant Cardone University. While any training is always great, the content isn’t tailored for pest control sales (which is its own beast). The actual “gems” provided in the training are very simple and the excessive time required for watching videos is a distraction from actual sales work. Hopefully they don’t have to waste more time/money to realize they’ve become prey to a predatory scam. Inbound leads are booked 2 weeks out. Meaning those inbound leads are aged 2 weeks. Those hot leads “I have rats in my attic, termites in my kitchen please send someone as soon as possible!!” are put on ice. To add more nonsense. Salespeople are not allowed to prioritize inspections or manage their own calendars. The calendar is always changing. The vehicle have a camera on me 24/7 and now I have an exhibitionist kink. I had a lot of freedom to focus on my sales because I didn’t participate in the mandatory daily camera-on zoom meetings, That were demoralizing at worst and unmotivating at best.
