Pros

Freedom to do your job but commission only and termite and pest control are seasonal. You can make good money in season but in the winter you must be creative.

Cons

Commission only on all sales. Must use your own car and pay your gas. You are compensated for gas but it is based on your sales. Cold calling is required. With the economic situation getting very tight people are trying to cut back and cut corners and doing many things themselves. Pest control is one of these things. Also, many people do not see a termite inspection and protection plan as a necessity. Terminix will hire and train but only the very best sales people can make it through the winter months. Also, crawling under houses.

Pros

They are always looking for good people at Terminix, partially due to the high turnover. There is opportunity to advance within the company based on how you perform.

Cons

They expect you to work six days a week year round, which can be a downside unless you are a workaholic. There is inconsistency with how branch management applies many company policies and procedures. There appears to be an over emphasis on the bottom-line at times with customer service suffering.

Pros

Monitary compensation is good. Average health and dental plan provided. Some very good and supportive fellow employees.

Cons

Unusual hours. Favoritism. Lack of communication of new policies and procedures. Little chance of improving position without a pay and time sacrafice. Difficult to take time off without falling behind and working overtime to catch up. GPS monitoring and reporting of almost every action taken in a company vehicle. Sometimes unavoidable exposure to chemicals that may effect your immediate or future health.
