I worked for this company twice for a combined 11 years. All they are about is sales-don’t give a hoot about customer service. I left due to management retaliation, fixing of financial books and the lack of professionalism. And when I went to HR-I was told that I was the one that needed mental help. 10 months after I left it all hit the fan. I was called by a high up official in Memphis about what I had seen. I told this person if someone would have listened to me the first time much could have been avoided. Awful experience in the final 2 years.
My mom 85 is having her friend who works for termix,,, because they have her thinking she has bed bugs which are fleas and got her all freaked out ,,,little old lady scam,,,,I'm a big guy and I'll be watching them like a hawk,,,scare a little old lady scam
The mom and pop companies like mine can do anything they got and probably better because I actually value my customer ,they are way more than just accounts to me
You absolutely could. I’m working at Terminix and got my license about 8 months. I’m going to grow my skills and acquire as much knowledge and experience as I can and then jump ship to a smaller company. Hopefully not one that makes me work 70+ hours a week
I have my drug test this Wednesday I’m really hoping I get the job this will be my 3rd interview now I’m so excited to work for this company it’s all new to me but I’m ready for a change and a challenge!!
Worked there back in the early 2000's. Hated it. Had us working every single Saturday. You had to have so many calls done a day. If you didn't, you had to work Saturday. Spent your nights calling people just to get an appointment to spray the house. But it was a pain to get anyone to let you come out. Then management wants to know why you're behind. After a while, your get up and go is gone. Would not recommend working there.
Truly Nolen is just as bad. They just want to sell you the service, even if you don't need it. A Truly Nolen guy came to my elderly mom's home and tried to rip her off by telling her that the lizard poop was rat poop, and it was going to cost $900 to eradicate the (supposed) rats. Luckily, I met him there, and I knew that lizard poop has a white tip, while rat poop doesn't. I could've reported him for lying and gotten him fired...but I didn't. Just watch out, because often they're looking for their commissions from the sales they make. They're NOT looking out for your best interests.
The opportunity only arises when you have given the customer a chance to mitigate it first. That’s how I roll. I’m not a service person, but I give them a chance to fix a problem, then offer my services after. Rodents in the garage. Offer putting food in metal containers and setting snap traps. Later if they still complain pitch a rodent service with bait boxes.
@@blainedubosejr Mine was 3 months, but you’re always learning as you go. There is also additional training to help either remind you, or inform about products, seasonal pests, and services.
I was inspecting a unit for bed bugs one day. My client had told me she also had terminix out a few days before. Just because she needed her mind at ease. However, when I was performing basic routine. She was amazed. Told me they checked the fours corners and called it good. Lmao
Clark Pest Control absolutely CRUSHES Terminix in terms of quality of service. My husband has worked for both companies. Terminix pushed 18-25 services per day with a can while Clark uses a power sprayer and only wants their techs doing 10-12 accounts a day. Quality > Quantity. Choose Clark every day of the week!
arrow exterminators is the most difficult to get into though, must have the cleanest drivers record and they only hire professionals with good experiance, for the most part.
@Terminix Continues to fail to follow up on a local level. First we were mislead and then a bait & switch on the diagnosis. Then your managers fail to schedule techs with weeks in between. They said they be out multiple times/week. #pestcontrol #poorcustomerservice @BrettTPonton
@@thisishowiedewitt76 I was given a manager as a contact to schedule appointments. Either he misrepresented that he could help me and/or the techs failed to follow up. Neither scheduled appointments on a regular basis. Why do I have to figure out the structure of follow up? Shouldn’t they contact me as basic customer service?
Ismael Viera You can treat under a certified applicator within sight. It is up to the trainer when that person is ready to begin applying under a watchful eye.
It’s actually not that bad most of them are outside services and for the most part it’s generally quick the video of course goes way more in depth but I can knock 19 stops before 4 and that’s starting at 8.
Nobody can do 19 stops a day and give any of them decent service,I would cap it at no more than 10 and only if they were within 20 minutes of each other.i started my own company why my old company changed ownership and put it in mandatory absolutes that no tech stays at an account more than 15 minutes and the GPS watched your every move and they would call me to find out where I was ,I always replied "you got the GPS ,you tell me where I am
Mom and pops are the backbone of successful pest control.pest control is best done LOCAL

@@Yorelz Work to get your own license, then open your own shop. Best advice I can give you.

Are you working there
Me too
You get it?
We take over a lot of their former customer's because they are fed up with them.
i realize I am pretty off topic but do anybody know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Ryan William thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!
@Ira Hamza Happy to help xD

My son worked for HomeTeam pest Defense and now he have a interview for orkin Monday.
Orkin will always be better than Terminix always
I guarantee, all of those guys in this video are gone.
Probably lol
Why is that?
@@bettysimmons4434 Bad management, long hours, low pay, low morale, poor training, no support, bad management, did I mention bad management?
It's all about making money for the company, the good days are gone.
Is it real life like that? High turnover rate?
I would get a job there but I don’t want to cut my beard
Damn Ricky Bobby works at terminex
and that one guy from top gun maverick

He probably didn’t even know himself bro. These dudes are dumb and don’t pay attention in class
Wow…anybody working in pest control knows what rat droppings look like. Many can tell what kind of rat left them! No excuse for this

How long is training

All I ever hear about terminix is that they never come back and they half ass their job
They are trash

hi steph i wanna ask is it possible for foreigner with working visa and international driving license and no experience applied to this job ?
NORTH KOREAN PEST TECHNICIANS ARE #1
@RaiderPete orkin has dedicated training centers and thoroughly trains all their employees more compared to terminix from what I've heard
arrow exterminators is the most difficult to get into though, must have the cleanest drivers record and they only hire professionals with good experiance, for the most part.
I have 6 stops tonight and I call that busy night I work at Ecolab 🤪

The managers do not do the scheduling, that is what the technicians do.

Termidor SC and 1 gallon spray bottle.. problem solved.,
Probably just hired actors for the commercial
Barely had anything in the back of that truck.
pootie tang Brent?
He shouldn’t be spraying if he is training, I had to get my applicators just to be able to touch my B&G.
Ismael Viera You can treat under a certified applicator within sight. It is up to the trainer when that person is ready to begin applying under a watchful eye.
Justin E I forgot about that.
Their trucks have the two sides that open vertically with more storage I used to have one of their old trucks with that shell.
Any job for me in pest management 4 yrs exp till date
With 19 stops a day ..😭😭😭😭
The max is usually set at 16
Including initial and extras
