Employee Stories
Tennessee Beware of this company. I have recently been working for them and left recently. They treat customers horrible and lie to them. I even overheard a sales rep say, “Oops, I overcharged this guy $500.00,” and the other technicians said, “Oh, well.” Not to mention the no-shows for appointments, refunds that don’t happen or…
Rhode Island I was employed by Terminix for seven long, gruesome years. What a fabulous experience… NOT. Learning how to screw costumers over, and then finding out as an employee you also get screwed. There was one report filed that used the term “Splash & Dash.” In Rhode Island, we call it “Dog & Pony.” That…
Waterbury, Connecticut Terminix is a rip off. I worked for them; and, yes, it’s true. I have worked in the state of Connecticut for five years for Terminix International. I was put in place when the state filed suit in 1999. I was a compliance officer in the Trumbull branch, Waterbury branch, and Wallingford branch. …
Beware of this company. Inspectors are not licensed to do WDIRs (realtor inspections). I now work for a company that FOLLOWS THE LAWS and CARES about their customers and EMPLOYEES!!!! All Terminix wants inspectors to do is SELL SELL SELL!!! They push out their good home inspectors for new people off the street during every…
California My husband was employed by them for two years; and during that time we went through hell, dealing with mandated demotions because he was the only technician with a Branch II license, and dealing with their health insurance that they misrepresented. Anyways, a few months ago, a former co-worker told my husband that they…
Manassas, Virginia I worked for Terminix in Manassas, Virginia, for two years. The incompetence that we technicians had to deal with was disgusting. Many times, we had no supplies to properly do our jobs. In the summer of 2004, we were actually using plain water at customers’ homes since management did not order the materials…
Texas I live in Abilene and worked for Terminix not quite a year. I was with another company that was purchased by Terminix, so after the acquisition, I became the Service Manager for the Abilene Branch. I never felt completely comfortable with the way they did business, but when I was told by the branch…
Dallas, Texas Everything you say on this site is correct. I am a current employee of many years. Terminix is falsifying contracts daily. I am happy for the ex-employees who have left the company and saddenened by the many customers who have been misled. I have filed many documents to officials of Terminix only to have nothing…
Louisiana I was an employee of Terminix for about three years. In that three years, I never had a complaint from a customer, always showed up for work, and did my job to the best of my abilities. I have read several complaints from ex-employees about spraying with water, not going to the house, and…
Alabama As an ex-employee, I have witnessed most every situation I have read in these pages. I worked with other techs that might have sprayed your window sills with some chemical and called it an inside pest service to not having any chemicals to use and improvise. I also know of techs that have tagged…
New Mexico I’m a former service manager with Terminix here in Albuquerque. It’s sad that Terminix prides itself on being the “Biggest Pest Control Company” in the world but has the ethics of a gangster. All they want is the money from the customer so they can pay the shareholders. Customer service… What’s that???
