ROSE PEST SOLUTIONS

Route work. On a comercial accounts there were any where between 10-15 plus accounts to be done in a day. Home service accounts ran anywhere from 5-8 plus accounts a day. When ariving at the destination, you'll have to lissen to the client on any issues they are having,had or seeing. pest control is like a mystery. you'll have to know witch pest were dealing with,the habitates, life cycles,what they eat, and what time of the year the pest come out. What kind of chemical that is needed to us on the pest. How to beable to read the lable on mixing chemicals properly. Have to beable to ask questions about any small children, animals or elderly being in the area of treatment. have to make sure of any health problems or alergies. Having to manage your time in an account to find the problem on hand and ease the clients mind. Managing your time from one destionation to the other destionation. The co-workers are very helpfull with anything that I may have needed. Always willing to give thier knowledge to help you out if your stuck in a situation. The hardest part of th job is getting through rush hour traffice.

Once upon a time this company was a great place to work for. Over the last five years however the company has lost an exceptional amount of work and clients and can’t seem to keep employees or hire new competent ones. Nothing you do there is ever good enough or appreciated. They expect an unobtainable level of quality that programmed machines would have a hard time meeting. You are constantly followed, watched and monitored though gps and on board vehicle camera. Often your route will change completely at any moment in time forcing you to change the way your days are ran and your home life is lived. You will be forced to take over work from fired employees or employees that have quit without notice only to find out the everything is destroyed and unkept at that account. You are then responsible for fixing it from the ground up immediately, often without any help or consideration from management. This company is severely old fashioned and out dated in many ways and their problems start from the top down.  

I was very excited to come work for the company. It started out great and I was able to get my Ohio State certificate for The CORE COMMERCIAL APPLICATION VERTABRA TERMITE AND am Licensed to apply pesticides in the states of Ohio Kentucky and Indiana. I WAS doing well with the company.  I met the IVES family in Troy Michigan and they treated me like one of the family,but Training was poor in the Cincinnati Ohio office and they assigned me to some very important Signature Services for Copasan accts. I didn't have the right training needed to do the computer part if the job. I know what I had to do as far as Application of pesticides and Intregated PEST Management. At the end of the day I fell ill with the flu and I had only been employed for about 14 WEEKS and they let me go because of substandard work. However I think that if the owners of the company would have been involved with me personally I would still be employed. Was very disappointed. This was not just a job it was a career move for me.

A great place for a person who likes to work independently or as a team.  Most routes allow a person to work an independent schedule and you know your schedule a month in advance. Having a company vehicle was very cool too that you could take home. Company paid for all the expenses and gas.  Each office obviously can run different but I had the pleasure of working at the ft Wayne office and you could not ask for a better set of leadership. Adan & Kevin are top notch and I greatly miss working with them.  They were always willing to teach, train, or help in anyway possible.  I only left because the career itself was not the best fit for me but I greatly miss the people there.   Rose is a family owned company and they truly treat you like a family should.  

The first couple weeks of “training” were actually  the only fun part of the job and that you get a company vehicle. But, that quickly faded away when they hired a new “GM”. Company vehicles have cameras that record you anytime you are in the vehicle. And if you get more that 2 dings the company is fast to FIRE YOU! I also learned from my “GM”right away that you can’t trust ANY FIELD MANAGERS in the company. The company is so outdated and unorganized that they still use paper timesheets to pay you. All the managers and office staff are NO HELP. This is just a terrible company to work for overall! If you like working 10+ hours a day, low pay, work every weekend and have no life. Then this is the job for you! Good luck! 

The mana gene that at the local level are nice guys, along with the employees, but everything above them, worthless.  The training is lackluster, as soon as you get your license, you are booted out the door, and it does not lead to success, or advancement.  This place makes promises of advancement in their advertising, but there is little to no chance of advancement.  That is unless you want to pack up your family and move to another state.  The pay is ok if you don’t mind working 14-16 hours a day, then get griped at for running 20 stops.  They are placing GPS and live cam feeds in all the trucks.  Upper management is clueless as to what it takes to be a tech.  The QA department is run by a 100 year old codger who berates everyone he checks on.

I walked in with my resume and the lady in HR took time with me on the spot for an interview. I was start my day at 7:00 am and leave at 4:30 pm, giving me plenty of time to be with friends and family. I learned how to create Excel spreadsheets, make reservations for over 300+ people, took care of about 280 vehicles for any drivers needs (gas cards, insurance/claims, etc.) as well as other responsibilities that I was handed to take care of during my time. I enjoyed my job so where I didn't even realize I had been handling tasks that to some might have been more complicated, and even under pressure and last minute changes, I was able to get it all done.

One of the worst companies you can ever work for. Stay away from the CHICAGO LOCATION! They like to pick their Favorites! Company has Poor management, Horrible Human Resources Department, No Promotions, long hours, harsh working conditions, LOW PAY, and they do not care about you. You’re just a $$$  sign to them. Also Must work weekends! Only pro is that they give you vehicle to take home. But, vehicle has a camera that records you 24/7 and if you get 2 digs. They fire you. Not worth the time and just overall a horrible experience working for this company. Just stay away! You have been warned!

Woring for Rose is a great opportunity if you dont mind selling services to customers. It is definetley a good offer for customers to maintain their home with pest management schedules but when there is not enough technicians per region to cover all the customers then a chaos is created to rush through services to get all the customers for that month done and get the company the money allocated to that months finances and all they want is more customers and more services sold. Managers have no idea how to coordinate services in a schedule or how to properly manage office staff with a consistant operation to run effectively.

You better be super awesome at your job at all times. Also do underhanded things to keep your totals at the time. Including crossing into another territory and hogging split commissions to yourself. Befriend your onsite manager they can make or break all your deals. And good luck having qualified people show up to actually do the work. They are not very diverse. There is little respect for women and their opinions and ideas. Less than 10% of entire company is female or other minority.
