Decent company but poorly managed - werkgeversreview Field Expert bij Joshua's Pest Control

Every ones very welcoming and lovely to work with

They really have no cons

Can make good money and has company car

Here is a my story. Upon being hired, I moved my family from Tennessee to Illinois. Our first training was in Minneapolis. At our first meeting, I was told that I am “competing” for my job with the other new hire who was sitting next to me. During training, my training manager smoked weed. When I returned to Chicago, I killed it, and sold over quota my first month. The catch was that they hired too many sales guys for the market, and they were looking to alleviate the problem by giving a performance improvement plan. Two weeks into the plan, I was exceeding goals, when my Chicago manager asked if I wanted to switch to termite sales. He said this would be a solution to the problem of having too many sales guys for the insulation sales unit. Apparently that wasn’t the case, and despite hitting quota on insulation sales, I was fired a few weeks later. And what happened to the other guy that I was competing against? They let him go another month later despite hitting quota as well. The Chicago manager had the other three sales guys living with him at the time, and they padded their stats to tell a compelling story. I heard through the grapevine that sales plummeted after we left, and the company is for sale. Unless their is a drastic change in leadership and company culture, avoid Joshua’s at all cost. The greed and deception encouraged here is unparalleled.
