When I began with Ecoshield I had a wonderful experience. If this taught me anything, it's that I should never, ever, ever answer my door again. But now I feel physically sick that I was dumb enough to believe the lies I was told for a sale. I know I sound like a real dummy, but I don't know about this kind of stuff, and I thought everybody was doing it and I just really wanted to be nice to the salesperson. At this point, I would 100% pay them NOT to come. We asked several times about whether it would impact bees- he said they would only spray along the house. Used names of neighbors who signed up (we're the only idiots who were talked into it). The big thing is that they literally talked only about carpenter ants and explained that "many" people in our neighborhood have carpenter ants and told me about some doomsday situation. You have to trade empathy for reaching your goal.“They did come, but after sending the info sheet on the treatments used, we looked up the main chemical, which stated that it kills bees. You learn heavily about being disciplined and hearing no as yes, just push me more, which either makes you the sale or portrays you as the classic, desperate salesman.
Most will pay you more for the same amount of revenue sold. Will you rise above normal? Look at other companies before you sign. The job is so brutal however, most don't finish the entire summer.
Although, I will give the company credit where it's due because some of the best reps didn't stay for more than three months. Over half the the recruits quit within 6 weeks, and most of the reps didn't make the average $24000 in one summer (4 months). They will show you the cream of the crop on the recruiting calls, leading you to believe somehow you can likewise be exceptional. Once you realize what you're doing is essentially lying to people and dealing with management that is heavily incentivized to justify knocking on doors for 9-10 hours a day in the boiling sun is the opportunity of a lifetime when in reality you'll make equivalently $20-25/hour, and even less than that if one considers time spent driving and at daily 9am meetings. Overall a great place to learn that art of selling, and I learned heavily. The reality is that it's a business built on establishing long-term contracts when the majority of customers don't need the frequency of spraying and/or the service at all. Same underpaid technicians, different company logo. You will be spoken to like you're selling the holy grail of pest control, and be surrounded by management who will attempt to, or completely, delude you into the scheme of selling overpriced products that provide the same service 99% of other pest control companies offer while convincing you their product is superior somehow.
ECOSHIELD PEST CONTROL HOW TO
Typical door-to-door brainwashing culture, although you will learn much about how to sell and promote anything for money. They pay near minimum wage for jobs that other companies pay twice that of. Spends all of its money trying to expand and none of it making conditions for current workers any better. Talk about bonuses but have yet to receive any. Zero respect for the ground level workers, treated as highly replaceable meat for the grinder. I've been lied to more times than I can count from higher. You might end up doing multiple people's jobs but only get paid for 1 and they will never hire anyone else or give you a raise because it is cheaper that way. Horrible pay structure that is used to pay as little as possible. Not competitive at all with the pest control job market. They basically want dumb inexperienced people that don't ask questions. No incentive for highly skilled and experienced employees. PTO is acquired very slowly and doesn't even start till after 6 months. Never answer phone calls which screws over local branches and technicians paychecks.
Only get paid half regular pay for any PTO. A bug killing company run by people that have never killed bugs. Corporate level is evil but branch level is awesome.
