Pros

Prior to Covid this was an enjoyable company to work for. The people that I worked with were wonderful people.

Cons

When the Investment Company sold off Service Master and decided to send all of their office based Admins and CSR’s home, that is when the employees became nothing but Cattle. Each CSR was expected to take call after call with 9 seconds between each call. If you had to use the bathroom or anything that took you off the phones other than break time, you would get marks against you. Then write ups. Now imagine if you have IBS or something. Also, this company is not AMA friendly. The company hand picked a DEI Group to examine the companies policies, procedures and get an idea of the diversity and inclusion that they thought they had. The company was in for a rude awakening. Terminix has always been a boy’s club and it isn’t easy for a woman to become a service manager or branch manager. BUT the real issue of diversity and inclusion wasn’t just women, it was much deeper than that. So Terminix disbanded the DEI because it would be too costly and time consuming to fix any issues. Training is very basic and not taught the same be each trainer. Work life balance for techs, outside sales, service managers on up is non existent and the company does not care. The pay scales have been reworked to sound fantastic but in reality, they just find new ways to pay you less in the long run. Sound like a company you want to work for??? I doubt it.

Pros

Working at home is always a plus. They do provide you with equipment which is a plus if you don't have your own but if you do have your own computer, monitors, etc you'll be stuck with all their stuff as well.

Cons

If you're going to work in customer service know this; it is customer service AND sales with a HEAVY emphasis on sales. This company is NOT customer focused. The focus is all on call center metrics, making sales, and hitting monthly goals and benchmarks. Branch managers and service managers NEVER answer their phones and rarely respond to emails with any useful information. It is stressed in training how important documentation is on accounts but NOBODY, managers especially, ever do this so you'll often get calls with angry customers looking to follow up on an issue and you have nothing documented on the account about it. Customers will claim to be offered all kinds of things from refunds and credits to free services that should be paid, but nobody actually does these things or documents them. People say what they need to to get customers off the phone (to meet call center utilization metrics), get customers to accept home inspections (to meet their lead quota), and to sign up for new or additional services that they don't need or really want (to meet sales goals for the month). When you're in your call team/pod, at least where I was, there was a heavy sense of competition that was intended to be "inspiring" to get you to push your sales and leads. People would post in the group chat every time they would get a sale or lead and the supervisor would shout out people during the day for meeting certain goals. It made it feel like not only competition but favoritism. Either way, you can certainly expect a day filled with back to back calls with angry customers all while your supervisor silently listens to your calls while simultaneously sending you private chat messages telling you what you're doing wrong and what to do instead while literally in the call trying to do your job.
