Pros
My manager is very nice and understanding but at the end of the day it is about performance and numbers. Termites swarm in the spring and early summer so these are the good times to make money.
Cons
Very seasonal where I work, not a lot of need for termite or pest protection in the cold winter months. The other products that we sell like insulation during these times are over priced compared to other companies. All the other pest control companies provide a company car for their sales people but you must drive your own car at Terminix. They do give you 2% of all sales for car allowance and gas but it would be much better to drive a company car and have a gas card. Call parties are mandatory at least one night of the week and it is tough to get good solid appointments especially when it gets cold.
