Pros

Great Benefits, Great Reputation, Very Professional, Great Training, Gas Allowance of 2% on gross sales.

Cons

Outside Sales is a very seasonal job, Terminix compensation is based on a draw/commission. The draw is $2000 per month and your expected to exceed the draw every month. In the event you don't exceed draw, you still get paid your $2000, but the next month, they claw back any amount of that $2000 that made up the shortfall for your commission. For instance, the base commission is 15% and your expected to sell $13,500 in gross sales, if in the Winter months you have a bad month and sell only $9000 which would equal $1350 commission, you would be $650 upside down. The next month, the company would expect you to sell at least $13,500 plus enough over that to pay back the $650.00 shortfall. In the event you have to bad months and don't make that, your gone.

Pros

The people you meet and get to work side by side with. Commision percentage on sales is better than most. Bonuses when you get them are great.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations, you do the job of 3 people at once and corporate managers don't understand what it actually takes on the front lines. By stream lining processes they are throwing customers out the window and making the associates pay for it. Almost never allowed to take time off, when you take it off you must have your work phone with you.

Pros

the base pay is 9 or 10 dollars an hour for the inside sales position but the commission is uncapped

Cons

the attendance policy is horrible. You can't even be one minute late or you will be penalized. keep you on a tight leash when leaving your desk
