Arrow Exterminators, based in Atlanta, Ga., was named a 2020 Top Workplace by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

This is the third year in a row that Arrow Exterminators has received this award. This year, Arrow was also awarded with the honor of No. 1 Workplace in Atlanta.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Top Workplaces Award is based on team member feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by Energage. The survey measures several aspects of workplace culture including alignment, execution and connection.

“We are thrilled to receive this prestigious award of being named the No. 1 Top Workplace in Metro Atlanta,” said Emily Thomas Kendrick, Arrow Exterminators president and CEO. “Our entrepreneurial culture and our team members have been and will always be the driving force of our company and our success, and it is an absolute honor to be recognized by them for being a great place to work.”

According to Thomas Kendrick, the company’s culture encourages innovation, celebrating big life moments, includes volunteer opportunities with local charities, recognition for a job well done and training programs to support professional development and career advancement.

Arrow Exterminators was founded in 1964 by Kendrick’s grandparents, and is still family-owned and -operated today.

“My grandparents founded Arrow Exterminators with a belief that if you treat your team members with respect and as an extension of your family, this would in turn be reflected on the customer,” Thomas Kendrick said. “This philosophy has carried on for the past 56 years, and it has served us very well.”

With revenues exceeding $250 million, Shay Runion, chief human resources officer at Arrow Exterminators, attributes the company success to passionate, highly trained team members who are committed to protecting everyone’s quality of life.

“Arrow Exterminators has a unique family-focused, entrepreneurial culture that is based on integrity and operating with transparency and a clear conscience,” Runion said. “Our 2,500-plus team members are what make Arrow special and we want them to pursue their passions.”

The company has 126 service centers throughout Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
