Pros

They do a good job with pest control training and knowledge. Salesman can work from home for the most part. Work schedual can be very flexible. My manager was good to work with. Orkin has one of the better guarentees as a service provider.

Cons

Saleman and technicians compete for sales in the same territory which causes tension. After 12 months on the job sales goals become unrealistic. Commissions are low. The company doesnt seem to be progressive when it comes to technology and communcation. If a customer drops service salesman are hit with a chargeback

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.
