    What’s it like working at Rentokil Initial?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees value the supportive colleagues and strong team spirit at Rentokil Initial, along with excellent training and development opportunities. The company-provided resources, including vehicles and phones, are appreciated, as is the autonomy and flexibility of working independently. There are also opportunities for career advancement for dedicated employees.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including management communication and support, which could be improved. The workload can be demanding, with high daily expectations, and staffing levels sometimes require employees to take on additional responsibilities. Some employees feel that pay rates and recognition could be enhanced, and the fast-paced environment can create time pressures.

    Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere.
    The good thingsNo positive points at all, the most toxic environment I have ever experienced.
    The challengesWas told in the first week to cover myself for when they eventually come after you. Middle management are not competent. Low ethics. HR are terrible, worse than usual.

    Adelaide SA 50005 to 6 years in the role, former employee
    Restructure the management, pay real workers good money. Poor incentives i found.
    The good thingsPay rate increase, working alone, van, phone and fuel card, tools. Yes they provided the basics and good pay. Excitement of achievement and Good bonuses. The first 3 years went well but the last few were down hill.
    The challengesResidential side ok, commercial not so good! Many times left stressed out and wanting to just leave! Manager was a tool, no understanding or respect. It's all about the numbers, not about the quality. Check your rodent stations and see for yourself. Some of the staff were poor in standard but paid as senior technician.

    North Sydney NSW 20601 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Not worth the stress !!
    The good thingsBuilding a rapport with Customers. Company van and company phone.
    The challengesPay rate of 30.00 per hour is pitiful. Dealing with body fluids and overfull sanitary bins/stench is not worth the money. Expectations of completing 25+ jobs per day is outlandish. No consideration taken into parking issues, toilets being occupied.its all rush rush rush. Definitely not worth the stress-find something that you enjoy doing and is worth the pay rate.
