Employee Stories

I worked for Terminix for a little over a year. It was a last resort position. First of all, after working pest control I know now what a ripoff it is. There is no reason to charge a customer $100 4 times a year when the customer could do the service himself. All the add…

I saw an article on Facebook about your firm today. I have been a Terminix customer since 1967. In approximately 2005 I discovered termite damage to the bottom of a bookcase on the floor. Terminix examined the damage and fixed it. Approximately a month ago I had a contractor inspecting some damage to my wall…

I worked for terminix 19 plus years. They treat their workers like shit. They don’t care about your health or well being . There’s a lot of shady things goes on in the office . Branch managers threating you with your job cheating customers out on money by over charging . Some managers like CD…

I worked for this company and completely ripped customers off. It’s the name if the game. They fired me without my knowing. I found out because of cobra. The regional manager akim didn’t even have the balls to call me. And the human resources manager Brandon was just as big as a p**** too. Way…

Work with Terminix in Ok. Have been in pest control for 6+ Years (not with Terminix for all of them) and I have to say it is not a business for the customers or employees. The pay plan was terrible and if you had a bad area barely made any extra money. The new pay…

Been with Terminix under a year. It’s been a complete nightmare! I’ve been made to feel like I can’t get along with anyone, yet get 10 consistently in customer reviews. It started in the branch I began in. It is the good ole boy system all day long. It’s not about what’s right but about…

I work for Terminix for 3 horrible years. I was hired to become a Service Manager, we’ll that never happened. The Branch I worked at was so mismanaged. The Branch Manager had no pest control experience, and didn’t care about pest control. He treated everyone like he was better then they are. Have No respect…

I remember researching Terminix while at the same time applying for work, i needed a job and this seemed like a very good company. Well not all of it is a horror story, my coworkers are and have been guys like me who wish to make money and provide service. The problem stems from the…

I started working for Terminix in the Spring of 2012 as a termite technician. At the time I started working there everything was great. Technicians were happy and everyone from management down got along great. That was all until December of 2015 when the new branch manager stepped in. He said he wanted to be…

The Evil Empire is what it known in household. After being a Tech for over 5 plus years. Not a happy chapter in my book of life. 1st. Walked in on a Monday to start training was told to watch some video’s and read the green binders. Later that afternoon I was informed I’d be…

Ocala, Florida Wow, after reading all the other complaints posted, it has eased my mind a little.  I always thought it was only happening in Ocala, FL.  I worked almost six treacherous months in the Ocala branch. The treatment to the employee and to the customers is absolutely horrible.  If you have overtime on your…

New Jersey I worked for Terminix as a Sales Inspector until I was relieved of duty in the company parking. I suspected the company was a fraud even on my first day. The videos we were to watch for safety and other issues amounted to about 14 hours of time, we were allotted 2 1/2…

West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky I worked for Terminix a little over four years, three of them as service manager for a great bunch of technicians. I’ve been in pest control business for about 15 years. My happy day started on the 20th of December a week before Christmas. I was told they were going to…

I have injured myself working for this company. I called in ill because I was hurting too much, needed to rest a little. My branch manager told me that if I take anymore days off I will “have to get another job and Terminix does not give a  f**k about my injuries.”  This is how…

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Employed 6 mos., got fired for losing driver’s license.  At first, they said I could stay and work an admin position in office but they just wanted to keep me till the last possible minute to exploit me and get more 15 hr. days out of me. I could have gone back to…

Cincinnati, Ohio I want to share my experience with you as a ex – Terminix employee. I accepted a job as a Pest Control Tech at the Comm. Pest control office in Middletown, Ohio, in 12/2002. After getting hired, I was taken out for “training” for a day with another employee. At the time, he…

My husband is very unhappy, he works for Terminix, comes home at 7 or 8 at night, does not get paid for the hours he does doing office work.  He worked a 10-hour day in the field and was only paid for a five-hour day. This is the nonsense that Terminix puts my husband through.

Worked for 6 months. Was horrible. Forced to work ungodly hours, had to deal with Silvercreek sales firm who does door knocking to generate sales.  They would lie about how the contracts were stated and led customers to believe it was a one-shot deal and they would never see pests as long as they live…

New York I too work for Terminix and feel sorry for the customers.  Their termite baiting system is fraud; many of the baits that replace the original baits have no chemicals to kill the termites.  It just feeds them.

Quincy, Illinois I worked for Terminix here in Quincy for a little over a year and HATED every minute of it! The Branch Manager and Data Entry Clerk hated each other passionately and were scared to death of each other! She dressed in jeans and polo or t-shirt and he dressed in grubby shorts and…

Springfield, Missouri I worked for Terminix from June 04 until April 07. In that time, I was one of their top dogs in the top 5% of their sales people. They lie, cheat, and steal from their customers and employees. Upon leaving the company, they owed me $9145.38 in commissions that were completed, they then…

Tennessee I’ve just recently resigned from my position in the TN call center as a  Supervisor.  I wrote a several page complaint to the company’s CEO, HR and other departments about the unfair treatment of the employees.  The call center was a babysitter’s job.  We never have solutions to problems for the customers.  All we…

I am soon to be an “ex-employee” of Terminix and will be sending you an e-mail within a month or so. I will also be open for any questions about what I’ve seen there.  If you didn’t hear, the latest thing Terminix is doing is a thing called TIPS, which consists of inspecting your house;…

Massachusetts Wow, I worked for Terminix, role played for days the sales pitch.  What a rotten company.  Here I was taught to lie to the customer, ruthlessly lie to elderly, to the person who couldn’t make the mortgage.  This is the sales pitch:  “Hello, Mrs. Smith, we spoke last night.  I’m here to do your…

I worked at Terminix for 2 and a half years. Used to be great up until a week ago.  I hurt myself about a week ago.  They made me file Workers’ Comp.  Needless to say, I got released Monday the 29th of January from the doctor. I got all excited ready to go back to…

Tennessee I thought I would submit some of the wrongs I have seen since I have been at Terminix. I have seen my branch operate without a license even though they knew they needed one.  I am a tech, and I still work here. I have been here for over 14 years, so I have…

Forth Worth, Texas Terminix has trashed their name. As a former employee, I know first hand that Terminix does bill for services never treated. Worst yet, turning those customers over to collections for a service they never did.  This company has stolen from its customers. And when they are caught, rather than admit the wrong,…

I was a Terminix employee. Although I made great money while working  there, the office was like a jail.  The salesman that made the most ran the place and could say and do whatever he wanted.  And if there was something shady going on, if you didn’t keep quiet, you were the next person to…
