Some of them absolutely hate the Entity. And they weren't all murderers before being found. I'll give a brief rundown of them.
Evan MacMillan/Trapper was heavily tortured into doing the Entity's bidding. Heavy dislike.
Philip Ojomo/Wraith has weird glowing eyes. The current theory is that he doesn't see the Survivors, but rather his old boss, Azarov, who used him to make people "disappear." Probably been tortured a bit too.
Max Thompson Jr./Hillbilly also has glowing eyes and likely sees his abusive parents. He's also just straight up feral and likely enjoys killing.
Sally Smithson/Nurse is implied to have been suffocated by that pillowcase. Her power also puts her through immense pain. Most likely hates the Entity.
Michael Myers/Shape is the literal embodiment of evil. He enjoys what he does, which is clear through his plain appearance.
Lisa Sherwood/Hag was probably tortured very heavily. Even Benedict Baker says this "Her very presence speaks of endless torture similar to mine. I wonder - did she refuse the entity's calling until broken or did she wish for this?"
Herman Carter/Doctor is an insane psychopath. Any chance he can get to show his superiority is one he will take. At the same time, he was tortured by that headgear.
Anna/Huntress kills for survival and has the mind of a child. She probably doesn't even realize she's being used.
Leatherface/Cannibal kills because he was forced to. He's afraid of the Entity like he was his family.
Freddy Krueger/Nightmare was a monster even before turning into the dream demon he is (our version is the 2010 version, where he was a pedophile). Believe me, he enjoys this.
Amanda Young/Pig sees this as John Kramer passing her off to a stronger master. She might not have enjoyed it initially, but this is all a game to her. The Survivors don't deserve to live.
Kenneth Chase/Clown is another psychopath who enjoys what he does.
Rin Yamaoka/Spirit never actually killed anyone. She also has those glowy eyes, and she likely sees the Survivors as her father. You know, the man who chopped her into pieces. She is an onryō, sustained only on her rage. She hates everything, and even the Entity has a hard time controlling her.
The Legion is a difficult one. All four are messed up in the head a little, but they only killed the janitor in self-defense (technically). Yet, they don't have any horrible defects like Evan's hooks or Lisa's... everything. This implies that they enjoy killing.
Adiris/Plague is the most innocent of the Killers. She even cut off pieces of her body to save a dying woman. To her, the Entity is a god. She was dying, and it found her. She would literally do ANYTHING to appease her gods, even kill.
Danny Johnson/Ghost Face is another complete psychopath, and the devs themselves have said that he has an incredible connection to the Entity, shown by his floating cloth.
The Demogorgon is just hungry.
Kazan Yamaoka/Oni is another bloodthirsty psychopath with a messed up sense of honor. The Entity saved him from death, and his honor would keep him in check.
Caleb Quinn/Deathslinger has those glowy eyes, and is the one that started the glowy eye theory. We have definitive proof, in his backstory, that he sees the people who wronged him because he was Irish instead of the Survivors. I don't know about you, but I would enjoy putting those people through endless torment.
Hope this explains their feelings.
As for if they disobey the Entity... We call that being turned into an empty husk and thrown into the Void for eternity.

It depends on the Killer in question.
Some of them probably do, but none of them have any choice in the matter really. If they don't do their job the Entity may torture them or discard them into the Void.
In a word, they are very much being forced to kill. It's more a question of how willing they are to kill and how much duress they are under from being forced to kill.

The Spirit didnt kill before. She was killed by his father. Or am i wrong?

The way I see it, some of them are loyal, some of them are disloyal
I am too lazy to explain each one of them, so I just made a tier list based on how loyal each killer is to the entity.
2 -
I think Plague and Demo fit into the loyal + unaware category, as the Demogorgon is just a creature that kills things and the plague wants to appease the gods with human sacrifice so that she'll be cured. Oni seems like he's loyal and knows what's going on, as he is fueled by rage like the spirit but also very cruel and bloodthirsty.

I actually think Oni might be in the same category as someone like Hag who has become fully devoid of humanity. His Mori involves ripping out a Survivor's tongue at the end, which is something he only did to people who used their speech to dishonor his name- So why exactly would he do it to random Survivors?
IMO given his physical alterations, much like the Hag his thought process is probably unrecognisable and he's essentially just going through the motions that he was when massacring people. He slaughters people with his kanabo and rips out tongues but is no longer capable of having a motivation to do so, he just keeps doing it endlessly and is stuck in the same furious, raging state forever.

I would assume if the killers ever did get bored of killing the same people over and over the entity could probably do some freaky voodoo shenanigans and possibly just wipe memory it could tie in to the glowing eyes theory aswell

With the Legion I think it's quite possible that they're just going along with whatever Frank tells them to do.
As we heard they would pretty much do whatever Frank asks of them even if it involves murder ( Susie being the only exception to this case)
With Frank's influence The Entity wouldn't need much bending to actually get them to work. also it's been heavily implied on dev streams that the Legion are allowed to hang out with each other and remain a group when they're not in their own individual trials this could also be a bargaining chip The Entity used for them.
Basically sacrifice survivors and you guys get to stick together and hang out with each other when you're not in trials rather than being separated like the other Killers

I personally wouldn't say Amanda is happy to kill.
Her lore implies that she does it out of necessity or principle rather than something she outright enjoys.
She deluded herself into thinking John passed her onto The Entity so her misguided ideology about people not deserving a second Chance was correct

Ok gang the weird spider monster says that to stick together we need to do its bidding

"Basically sacrifice survivors and you guys get to stick together and hang out with each other when you're not in trials rather than being separated like the other Killers"
Thats like the entity being a parent xD "alright Frank, you can hang out with your friends once you take out the trash"

This is my new headcanon The Entity acts like a frustrated parent towards the legion
6 -
One great theory I've heard is that the entity let's each member of The Legion see each other post trial, which would make sense considering Frank was the only one who was truly fine with killing the janitor.
2 -
Lmao The Entity has no idea what changes to do with Legion so It is like a frustrated parent, I can hear it saying "alright, I gave you Nemesis, what more do you want Frank?! Wait 3 more months I'll see what I can do"

To be fair, Oni absolutely hates being called Oni-Yamaoka, yet the Entity forced his face into an Oni mask and the Sanctum of Wrath that came alongside him has the statue that he thought mocked him, and subsequently destroyed. This, in my opinion, is the Entity using triggers from his life to force him to get angry and kill, because he wouldn't listen to it otherwise. That's why I don't think the Oni is aware to his loyalty, just blinded by rage to what's truly going on.
1 -
Note that the Oni's Mori involves him ripping out the Survivor victim's tongue, which he only did to people he thought spoke about him dishonorably. Unless he's THAT insulted by people screaming at his presence, I assume he's either in a state of utter delusion and believes all the Survivors are doing things like calling him an Oni, or he, like Hag, has no trace of his own humanity left and is simply going through the motions of what he was doing when he was grabbed by the Entity without understanding why he's doing it anymore.

Legion can also assumed to be enjoying it since their ability is literally getting into the hunt and stabbing as much as possible to cause pain and suffering
Demogorgon at base is a hungry animal, but it's easy to prove the Entity has full control over the demo, judging by how it picks up and hooks survivors instead of outright killing them, as well as understanding the rules of the hunt (Gen's can't be done or it's "food" escapes, there's 2 exits, it understands the hatch is a potential escape route and that it can close it, etc)

Isn't demo connected to a completely separate being (mind flayer)
0 -
(add on) why would it listen to the entity
0 -
I don't think they dislike their jobs or the Entity, I just think they need a bigger wage.

Michael is not afraid of The Entity, I even think he challenges him, I mean, he is the only killer who has addons to kill survivors, that can indicate that Myers resists his manipulation and even if The Entity tries to hurt him or kill him, he could not against the incarnation of evil itself.
1 -
Yeah, I agree with this. Generally, the more messed up the killer looks, the more the Entity had to 'convince them' to come into its realm and do the killings for it.

Plague believes the entity to be one of the gods of her time and sees it as the one who saved her civilization
Demo is like a dog that works for the entity to appease its hunger
Oni is tormented by the entity as it turned him into what he fears most
