Rollins Reviews

Pros

It's fun and the people are great to work with. Very stable environment with long term opportunities within the company.

Cons

Promotions rarely come from within. HR policies are a little strict, on everything from dress code to drug tests. The benefits are minimal.

Advice to Senior Management

Overall, I think upper management is doing great work. Increase benefits and promote from within - you're missing out on some good talent.

Pros

The pay is fair and you are allowed to learn and be creative with solutions. Direct supervisors seem to take an interest in your personal and professional growth.

Cons

The appearance is that Senior Management does not trust anyone below a director. They will bring in consultants to validate what the technical staff report on. This is consistant throughout the IT organization. This is a pest control company so the Senior Management knows more about pest control rather than technology.

Advice to Senior Management

Trust your employees more and embrace technology in the pest control industry. The two actually can go hand in hand. Allow your customer to communicate with you the way THEY want to and you will have happier customers which translates to retention which translates to $$$ in the bank.

Pros

They recently purchased the pest control company I worked for. They came to tell us about how the transition would occur and made us feel very comfortable. They went to 54 branches of our company and assured us of our jobs..... Knowing that basically when your purchased and you are nervous of losing you job or just not sure how it is going to go and to have the roll out that they performed, I was relieved. The best reasons to work for Rollins is all the great opportunities that await. You never know ...you may just be the next GM or Regional Supervisor.

Cons

No really, I can't complain. I can make something up, but it would be a lie .........to date.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the Great Job. I'm honored to have the opportunities to grow in your company.

Pros

I have had a few managers and all but one was a fair and knowledgable person. With all the emphasis put on cutting costs they do a pretty good job of getting the employees the materials they need. They are a large company so you get a certain amount of security from that in this market and they are consistantly growing, and now they are trying to get into other pest markets to expand a little more. Their training course is a little more extensive than most other pest control companies. They are always doing what they can to stay as competitive as possible.

Cons

Below averae wages. Alot of overtime for salaried employess. Very cheap in every aspect of business. You have to pay a fee to take your truck home. Rolins expects the technicians to pay for some of the necessary materials. They are always complaining about gas usage because of the prices but i really dont know what we as technicians can do about it. Now they are also complaining about Nextel usage between employees. Employees are asked to work all hours of the day and night with no limit on the amount of hours per day with no overtime compensation. All in all they are so big that the individual will sometimes feel like just a number.

Advice to Senior Management

Put your employess above your stockholders.
