After 20 years--Disappointing Ending

Recommend

Pros

The technicians and the sales staff--the boots on the ground, if you will--the majority of these folks are grade A good people. For the most part these people WANT to do well and WANT to make the customer's happy.

Cons

There are too many people in upper management that have no business being there. On the surface, this may seem like a typical response of a person that leaves a company, as well all leave for reasons that are in some cases, difficult. The problem at Terminix, however, did not happen overnight. This has been a gradual problem that is, at the time of my writing this, now at the absolute worst it's ever been. Too many folks that have little to no experience in the pest control industry trying to steer the proverbial ship.

Don't do it.

Pros

Company truck. Descent pay, but with the hours worked your pay is actually about 11.00 per hour. 10-12 hours per day.

Cons

No training, zero support from upper management , you are told that you need to work on numbers but do not give you any training on computers or how to do your job, they also hire people with zero experience in pest control but have them manage techs. Very long hours with no balance of family time and work. You will be on call every 2 weeks depending on how big your office is. They say one thing and practice another . THEY DO NOT HAVE YOUR BACK.

Pros

Company Car w/ gas card, IPhone, and Ipad. Also company paid uniforms. You really don't have a lot of upfront expenses. Training and orientation are thorough and you will always have a person to ask questions if you have them.

Cons

Low Pay. Because, of all the support and benefits. They have really have killed the pay for the majority of sales people. The top 10 still do relatively well but everyone else struggles. If you are an incredible sales person. My advice is to move on and look for something that has more balance. The short term gains in the job can be great. However offices are being pushed towards making large OK sales team that are more consistent and not exceptional.
