Cut-throat office politics

Pros

If you are a bleeding heart liberal, a member of a "protected class" and flaunts it, or a fan of backstabbing office politics you will go far.

Cons

Most of the middle management and below positions in operations that are full time are under paid and over worked. It is seen as a privilege that they add more and more responsibilities to your work load with no monetary increase. If you dont kiss boot to the midwest regional manager or their goonsquad underlings you can kiss your but goodbye. HR is unresponsive at best, unless they need something from you then you get hounded relentlessly. Cant stress enough to steer clear of that goonsquad they will all work together collectively against you if your not in their click. And much more join up and find out for yourself.

Pros

It can be a surprisingly fun and satisfying job- while helping to control a legitimate public health threat you get paid a decent wage (11.00/hour) and receive a state registered technician pesticide license which can potentially help you to obtain future pest control jobs. The work is relatively straightforward, you use either a truck, or combination of truck and bicycle to toss packets of a biological pesticide into catch basins/storm sewer drains. You work largely on your own, can test out new methods to increase productivity, and you get to know places in your community that you never knew existed (great job for explorative types).

Cons

It ends very quickly. It can also be mentally draining to constantly battle traffic/bad drivers on busier routes. Waking up at 5 a.m., and working during 90+ degree days in high humidity could be an issue for some. If you are not a fan of running around swamps, (which is usually optional) potentially rainy/rainy days can cut back on the amount of hours you work a week (as you generally do not treat catch basins on or after overly rainy days)

Pros

More over time than you can shake a stick at. Nice corporate environment get fat and rich off the backs of operations staff.

Cons

Toxic fear based work environment for all operations staff. Insane turn over on top of random firings so they don't have to pay you over the winter, then wonder why there's so much incompetence. Severe lack of pay. Beg you to work on other crews especially night crew then proceed to yell at you for getting over time. Completely ignore their PHD's advice on how to treat water bodies properly then turn around and claim to be science oriented and backed. Not shy about asking you to dump chemicals into bodies of water illegally so they can meet their EPA quotas for on site chemical limits over winter. Also very retaliatory for standing up for the right thing.
