PestBear

I have worked at PestBear for quite awhile now and I know it's one of the best place in the industry that I have ever work.

I actually feel like a person here and not just another employee. The pay has been good form the time i signed on board, and the hour are not as demanding as you would think for a manager. My guys are usually in by 6:30a and out of before 4:00p and sometime off by 2:00p. My team and I rarely work a weekend.

I can say the benefits here rival even the major corporations in this industry. I just got discount ticket to Busch Garden, and got a discount tickets to Marvel Universe for me and my kids when it was in ton. I get about a 15-20% discount on my personal cell bill, and maybe paid $50 out of pocket for an eye exam and full year of contacts.

I can tell this I have never seen anyone that has walk through our doors that was a hard worker, show passion for what they weer doing with a positive attitude get fired. I hold myself to high standards and make sure I put in my days work. If you are a responsible, hard worker, and wants to make a good living, PestBear is for. If you just want to collect a pay check and pick along PestBear will not workout and you'll be looking for a different job.

I hope this post help people and let Gina know that you saw it when you apply.

What is the best part of working at the company?
An hour lunch break and somewhat flexibility with short notice absence.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The call numbers that they ask you to hit, while also taking care of each customer accordingly.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Honestly kinda like high school, very cliquey and if you aren’t a favorite of the managers at first you basically have no leg to stand on.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Taking and making calls as needed. Usually I’d clock in and immediately take calls, they give you a 10 minute break on the clock before lunch, then you have your scheduled hour lunch unpaid and after lunch but before 4 you get one more 10 minute break. The last hour from 4-5 no one takes a break. Usually the office manager will yell “Get the calls answered” if there’s more than 3 calls in queue. They ask you to do a total of 120 calls a day and you have to note how the call went for every call on the account. It’s not realistic and stressed me out.

This company is one of the most disorganized company's I have ever seen in terms in the Orlando market. They have been around for quite sometime but they are focused mainly on the west coast of Florida. The job description is 80% bs. Very poor pay for experianced people in this field.This is a good job for those who have no experiance in this field and for people that go to college in the morning and have their afternoons and evenings free. The commisssion structure is very difficult to achieve. The job description should read door to door marketing consultants because there are no leads except the ones you generate yourselves. Extremely high turnover but that is normal in this business. The only pro is that it is a base salary plus commission which is rare for this industry and no chargebacks which is extremely rare!

I’ve dealt with customer service, billing issues and credits, scheduling appointments.  Follow guidelines and expectations expected of me. Work as a team player. Handle new cliental.
The hardest part of the job there was no consistantsy between management and employees due to there were getting fired on daily basis and made it hard to schudel out appointments for mgr if they have to come and inspect property that was treated and was not improving and the same with the pest control workers. Then they decided to fire the cleaning crew and told all the customer service employees at the end of the shift everyone will be cleaning the office and bathroom and kitchen area out---this was untolerable not part of the job discreption for customer service

I was promised a certain pay rate ($15/hour), and schedule (4days a week/ 10 hour days). Not only was I working 6 days a week 11-12 hours a day, but I was switched to commission/production pay without my authorization. When I informed management, they said they would fix it and put me Back on a hourly rate. There were also discrepancies in each pay check I received and the discrepancies were not resolved, even though management promised that it would. 

Management will tell you one thing and do another. It feels like revolving door when it comes to employees. A lot of the Customers I came across are dissatisfied. Work was good and gave you plenty of exercise. Workplace theatrics were not worth the mental gymnastics.

I enjoyed my time at PestBear & LawnBear. I rarely worked past 3:00pm and the pay was good. The office staff was always help and my manager seem to care about me.

I worked outside all which I liked, and got to work with customers face to face. I was nice putting in a days work and knowing that I did something to make someone's life better.

I was great showing up the house or lawn I treated that next visit and seeing a happy customer and the property looking good, and I know that I had something to do with that.

I recall having benefit within 90 days, and a bunch a cool perks to like discounts on my Sprint bills, tickets on places, and stuff like that as a part of working there.

worked at the casselberry Branch for a little while. Toby is one of those slick salesman types who used to work for TruGreen. He'll say anything to razzle and dazzle you. Makes it sound like the greatest thing ever. But when you see the equipment and what you have to work with, most of it is out of a pickup truck. You get low  grade fertilizer and you work with broken equipment which they're too cheap to buy. Corporaordering for what they think is needed to be put down. Which is useless. Lawns are individual so they need to be evaluated. They pressure you for production and not quality. So if you're a quality driven customer base person this is not the job for you. If you have no morals and no scruples than this is the job for you

My managers were great, I had never done this kind of work before and the trained me. I will gladly work for this company again, and recommend other to give it a shot. Good and pretty easy work.

I arrived to work around 530a-600a and never work passed 300p. My managers trained me well for about a month and it's a pretty straight forward job, point and spray. I sold a lot of new customers on my routes which only made sense to me. I got paid for the sale and the production for the new accounts I set up.

I can say I never thought I would be in the lawn or pest industry but I happy that I have been. I will try to do this seasonally and if training does workout I would do this full time.

As an Outside Sales Representative I would offer our services to new and existing homeowners.  The commission structure (on paper) looks very good, but the execution from management is lacking organization.  I have yet to see one monthly sales report with all my sales.  There does not appear to be any distinguishable Service, Product or Protocol different from other companies in the industry. Hence, there is a high turn over of personnel.  I love the freedom and the fact they do not micro manage.  My reputation as a sales/service provider is impacted by our billing department, service technicians and proper product application, which lead to cancellations.

What is the best part of working at the company?
This company will rip off it's employees and think it's ok they lie to their customers and don't give the treatment they should this is nothing but a criminal organization 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with upset customers that they are being ripped off by the company 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment has changed to very hostile 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would work from daybreak to dark and sell as much as I can just for the company to make up new rules to take your sales away from you
