****What your days will look like****

* Roll up your sleeves and get ready to learn how we take care of customers. Youll become an expert in applying our company products so theyre safe and effective.

* Youll be responsible for building relationships with customers, scheduling and confirming their appointments, helping with sales to current customers, and expanding our product to new customers.

* High school diploma or GED; or one to three months related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience.

* Solid reading, writing, and verbal communication skills and the ability to present information in both internal and external settings.

* Some basic math skills add, subtract, multiply, and divide in all units of measure, using whole numbers, common fractions, and decimals. Youll need to be able to follow instructions for mixing on product labels.

* With the help of Terminix (and with the company footing the bill), youll need to maintain the licenses/certificates as required by federal, state, and/or local regulations. And youll need a valid drivers license.

****Straight talk about the physical demands of our work****

Were not going to sugarcoat it. The essential functions of this job have some physical demands (of course, reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.) Heres what we mean:

* Youve got to be able to move up to 10 lbs. regularly and 1120 lbs. frequently, whether thats lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or otherwise repositioning objects.

* Youll move around a lot regularly sitting, climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and crawling. Youll go up and down stairs, ladders, scaffolding, ramps, and poles. And youll need to keep your balance when walking, standing, or crouching on narrow, slippery, or moving surfaces. (Youll definitely get your steps in.)

* You must be able to safely operate a motor vehicle and make sure it and all other equipment is kept clean.

* The vision to perform detail-oriented activities at distances close to the eyes or within arms reach.

* Sometimes youll need to wear personal protective equipment (PPE), like an OSHA-compliant respirator, and youll need to be okay with regularly working in confined spaces, narrow aisles, or passageways (you know, where critters live).

****Work conditions****

Pests dont always live in nice places and thats where we do our work. But dont worry well prepare you with all you need to do the work as safely and as comfortably as possible.

* Youll need to be able to work both inside and outside in your local climate in company-provided weather gear.

* Youll sometimes be working around mechanical parts, vehicles, electrical current, heights and scaffolding, fumes, dust, and chemicals, and well train you how to handle all of these conditions safely.

* This is kind of a no-brainer youll be around animals and insects.

* And youll have to be okay with working in tight, confined spaces, narrow aisles, or passageways like you might find in crawl spaces. We work where the critters live.

To join Terminix Nation, youll need to meet state and federal regulations and company safety requirements.
