Pros

Decent Pay, lots of benefits, lots of flexibility. Branch level management was great and had a great group of people to work with.

Cons

No work life balance, working 14-16 hours a day was normal and the regional management was awful. At that level they do not care about anyone else. This is only specific for the region I was most recently in as I have worked in several and the others were not that way. Here you are only a name on a piece of paper with zero value no matter what you do.

Pros

Good pay, opportunities for sales depending on region

Cons

Orkin cares more about quantity over quality. If you care about doing a good job, don't work here. They will load your day up with tons of jobs and not enough time to do them (or do a good job anyways.) Management lives in their own bubble, and communicates poorly. I transfered to a new region and all services were a mess. Customers who have had Orkin for a year plus had homes still infested with pests. Prior techs hadn't cleaned any cobwebs, never cleaned webbing off siding or eaves. It was embarrassing. Commercial services weren't any better. I believe prior techs were just scanning stations and leaving. Orkin only cares if you punch through reports and collect money. If you also bring up customers that are being overcharged, management will never fix that either. Benefits also weren't great and quite expensive. Manager would also use slurs like the R-word despite knowing I had an autistic child. Just a gross place with gross values.
