Pros

Freedom to plan your day the way you need to. It was nice to have uniforms provided although as a sales rep I would rather wear something nicer than what was provided.

Cons

First off, the leadership was horrible and my Sales Manager did not teach me what he expected me to know. Also, you had to use your own vehicle without getting reimbursed for mileage or gas. The pay was average but the Draw vs. Commission was for the birds!

Pros

The company has over 300 branches nationwide and some operations globally. At the corporate office, the culture is very much like family. Of course, your experience may vary in the field at a branch location depending on the kind of manager you get. Generally Terminix branch managers are supportive of their employees but not every organization is perfect so you occasionally do find your rotten apples in the bunch. The style of these managers is usually reflected in their branch's performance. There are also incentive trip opportunities (cool places like Jamaica, Hawaii, Bahamas, etc) opporunities for people in sales, administration and even technicians that do the actual pest treatments!! It really is a good company to work for. If you work hard, you will be rewarded very well.

Cons

Branches are open on Saturdays so work on some Saturdays may be required depending on your position within the branch. The corporate office is only open M-F 8-5 but there are a lot of weekend warriors working most weekends -- not required though.

Pros

The service technicians have worked there a long time and know what they are doing and how to be successful with their job.

Cons

The amount of work expected for the pay that you receive is pitiful. Basically you are turning your soul over to a company and they will take every ounce of blood and time off, for very very very little pay.
