Kevin Connelly is the manager of this company. Kevin took over after the orginal owner (a man named Jerry) got sick and nearly died. Kevin acts like he owns the company, even with the fact that Jerry is still alive, and Kevin treats the employees there like s**t. He verbally abuses everyone but his wife (who works up front) and really overloads people with work, even when people tell him that they have family things, doctors appointments or other important matters.

I worked for Kevin for a while. He was a jerk to people then, and he still is now. He has a reputation in the exterminating industry that isn't good. Ask some of the important clients that Kevin kisses up to if they know the true side of this guy. They will say he is a nice guy. Yeah right! Kevin is amazing at lying through his teeth!

If you can find other former employees, they will tell you the same thing I am telling right here. He needs to get a life, and stop treating people like crap. Then maybe, just maybe, he will get some respect from the people he manages

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds

Kevin can be grumpy, but look at what he does

AUTHOR: Greg - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, December 02, 2005

My name is Greg, and I am the son of the owner of this company. I have known Kevin Connelly for the past fifteen years, and although I know Kevin can be verbally abusive (I have been the object of some of the abuse), the person who wrote this obviously dosen't know what Kevin is going through right now. Let me explain:

Kevin is an IMPORTANT part of my father's company. When my father nearly died back in July, Kevin was thrust into the position of running the company BY HIMSELF, and not with my father's help. Kevin was putting in (and still does if I remember right) 80+ hour weeks. Kevin is running the business the way my father wanted him to; it the way the business makes money.

I can understand missed appointments, family outings, etc. due to added work. It happened to me as well when I worked for Kevin and my father. But what this person dosen't understand is that you are not only getting overtime, but you're keeping your job safe, as the customer could have gone someplace else.

Although I have had arguments with Kevin over some petty stuff, Kevin is the best that there is out there. My father trusts him with his company. That says a lot, being that my dad wanted to make sure that the business would be around long after he was gone.

Kevin can make it happen. He may get angry and get a little too verbally abusive, but you have to look at the fatc he is doing a LOT more than he should be. Why he hasn't walked out the door is beyond me. But I can say for myself I am glad he hasn't.
