Pros

I honestly can't think of one good reason to work at Terminix.

Cons

The company demands a 60-65 hour work week for very little pay. To make things worse they recently cut pay nationwide for the third year in a row. We fake are lunch breaks in the computer cause we don't have time to actually eat or take a lunch break. When a customer doesn't pay their bill the employee has to pay for it out of their check. The management has zero respect for the employees and their work life balance. Due to disorganization they have successfully taken a 8 hour work day and turned it into 11-13 hour work day. We are constantly yelled at when customers don't pay their bills. They make us call 45 customers and write hand written letters to customers once a week. We do this at dinner time and we don't get paid for it. The manager forces us to spray houses and bill people who have canceled. The company has raised it's rates on the customer and we spray the cheapest watered down chemical on the market. We can't get the chemicals that work because the managers get larger bonuses if they keep the cost down. We literally spray pesticides that barely work. We have to make three or four trips to a house to solve a problem that should take one trip with the right chemical. Overall the management only cares about how numbers look on paper and could careless about the service we provide. I've never worked for such a unethical company.
