Terminix reviews

Our corporate overlords are complete idiots. For years they've known that their employees are very unhappy with work life balance issues. All work and no play makes for very unhappy workers. Despite this, they constantly dream up creative ways to induce even longer hours for less pay. Swell bunch of guys. At lest they over charge our customers every chance they get. when they're not over charging them, they're trying to sell them something.

Out of bed at 5 AM for long drive to route. Back home around 7pm, Call customers for next day route, back in bed at 8pm so I can get back up at 5 AM. 2 to 3 6 days weeks a month. Zero home life with wife and family. Terrible maintenance on vehicle, as my truck broke down twice. Equipment constantly broke down and leaked harmful chemicals . Back pack leaked all over back and left me with burning skin that would last for 6 to 10 hours of pain. Even my had held computer was a piece of crap which need tech support daily. About the only thing that they provided me that worked was my work pants. I worked there for 5 months and I never really figured out how to mix the product correctly. Was attacked by one dog, and had to chase down one dog that bolted out of a back yard gate. HOT WEATHER in Phoenix made me miserable. I took over and the previous tech did such a terrible job (who can blame him) that a bunch of customers cancelled. If enough cancel, they pull your commission...in my case, the my entire commission. I worked 70 hours week that month and averaged under 7 dollars an hour. I learned later that some techs would drive up, sit in the truck, fill out the report and drive away without performing service. No wonder I had to perform so many extra services that I did not get paid extra for on others routes. Am I glad I tried it...Yes...it has taught me to appreciate my current cushy sales job that pays well and lets me spend time with the only people that matter...my family.
