Terminix reviews

Disconnected executive leadership team; HR executives are not in tune with the needs of its field staff; promotions are bases solely on favoritism; inferior quality of corporate HR team members. I was at TMX for about 3 years. I value the relationships I established with my operational business partners but the morale of the HR department itself was extremely low. Decisions were made in a vacuum, field HR team members were treated were not treated with respect although we did most of the grunt work cascaded by corporate, and the key HR leaders made decisions based on who they did and did not like. Travel expectations are ridiculous. It went from 50% to 75 % with territories as large as 30 branches per HR Manager.

10hour days with hardly time for lunch break. 6 day workweek regularly. Terminix will never ask if your available to work late or on Saturday, they will just put appointments on you and expect that you want to work 80 hours a week. You have to sell 20k a month before receiving any commissions which is extremely hard most of the year. Then instead of letting you go out and try to sell, they want you to spend hours in meetings, hours tracking and filling out reports, excessive amounts of time discussing safety, and a constant barrage of calls, emails, and texts all day long interrupting your day. Even a master of time management can’t manage a day in this life. They certainly don’t care if you ever spend time with your family. And forget about ever trying to have any evening or weekend routines outside of Terminix because they think you belong to them 24/7. Oh and they don’t pay overtime because they label every position as commission or performance based, therefore they do not have to.
