Fox Pest Control

Office Assistant

May 2018 • Logan, UT

What I liked

Great environment and culture.

What I wish was different

I was told I could get HR experience and I haven't yet. Also they want you to provide them with a consistent schedule, meaning the same hours every single day.

Advice

Lots of customer service, but it's a great job.

Salesman

What I liked

I had an awesome experience this last summer. I've always been skeptical of summer sales. When I started school up at USU, I told myself I would never do summer sales. But my experience was nothing like I thought. I had so much fun living in New York, working hard and playing hard. I made enough money not to have to work during the semester, my wife no longer has to work, and we are much more financially free. The friendships we started at Fox have been ongoing, and the leadership and people skills I learned have been tremendously rewarding.

What I wish was different

The only thing about summer sales is you do work ALL summer long. We got to do some fun things like go on a work trip to Hawaii, spend time in NYC, etc. but it wasn't the "relaxing" summer that can be nice after a busy school semester.

Advice

For anyone who's considered summer sales, or is looking for a great growth experience, or who just wants to get ahead financially, Fox is at the top level. No one is more considerate of their employees or more capable when it comes to leadership. If you are willing to work hard and put in the effort, it is well worth it. And it isn't nearly as risky as you think. Everyone on our team made more than they would've at any other job.

Route Sales Manager

May - August 2018 • Lexington, KY

What I liked

It's a big challenge with a lot of learning opportunities. Working and living with a team you form some great friendships. It pays much better than hourly wages, if you put in the time. Leaders put in time to ensure success.

What I wish was different

There were some hiccups with scheduling and technicians. 4 months was a little too long.

Advice

If you're even slightly interested, I say go for it. It was very far out of my comfort zone, and even though I wasn't the best rep I learned a ton and made enough to pay for school. It's worth it for the experience alone even if you don't plan on doing sales as a career.

Summer Sales

May - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I enjoyed the companies values and the people i worked with.

What I wish was different

less strict on hours of work put in and more relaxed. Also parking was horrible in New York most of the time. even where we lived.

Advice

It is a great learning opportunity of what one might want to look for in a job and gives you experience with dealing with companies. If you decide to do it, stick it out. But don't be afraid to move around in the company if you don't enjoy what you are doing

Being in New York and trying something new.

What I wish was different

This was my third summer and I wish I would have picked a different job.

Inside Sales Manager

April - September 2019 • Logan, UT

What I liked

I felt treated like an equal to anyone in the company. I felt valued and encouraged at all times. I was rewarded for hard work and successes and was offered help when I wasn't doing very well. My managers were always very kind and cared about me personally, not just giving me grunt work.

What I wish was different

Sales are difficult when they are full commission, but that's what I signed up for when taking a sales job. A base pay is always more comfortable, but it allowed me room for personal growth.

Advice

Remember that sales is a mind game overall. Be kind to yourself whether you're at the top of the sales board or not. Fox is an amazing company that has strong moral values and I would recommend working here to anyone!

Route Manager

May - August 2021 • Albany, NY

What I liked

I loved how extremely difficult it was and the distance between where I was when I started and where I was when I ended. I loved learning how to communicate with people in real time, and solving problems. I became so much more confident in myself and what I am about and what I want in life by doing summer sales.

What I wish was different

I wouldn't change a thing. SUCH a great experience.

Advice

Before going out for a summer, ROLEPLAY ROLEPLAY ROLEPLAY. That will be really helpful. I would also get close with the people who are going out with you and attend as many of the trainings as you can. I think the biggest problem people run into, is that they weren't prepared for how hard it was going to be and so they fold in the first couple weeks.
