Pros

Terminix is the largest pest control company in the nation. They are a Fortune 500 company and have good incentives.

Cons

The earning potential has very much diminished. In the past, one could make some good money with this company. For the past couple of years, it's gone down by THIRTY-FORTY PERCENT. The leads have gotten progressively worse. The benefits took a turn for the worse in 2008. BEWARE!!!

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.

Is Terminix really the career for you?

Business Outlook

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.
