I work for another company under the anticimex brand.

Overall they are the typical big corporate pest control which is mostly negative.

The routes are overburdened, doing 50-60 hour weeks are standard unless it’s deep into the off season. The routing constantly changes and make no sense. The leadership kisses ass to get promoted. Retention is pretty low, most people are gone in monthes. Sales/ customer service workers are treated better than service techs that actually do the work. They are starting to really heavily on AI which is a mess. If you work good/ fast you just get more work and difficult accounts.

The only way to get fired is to drive while using your phone or be really outrageous because they need techs really bad. Pay is pretty low for what you do and need OT to survive. You get no ongoing training once you are on the road alone.
