Pros

Great training for route managers, sales & branch management!! They teach you everything you need to know to do PC work. Great trade to learn and great training facility in Atlanta top notch.

Cons

South East region has the worst Regional & Assistant regional managers (commercial) I have ever worked for, their motto " The beatings will stop when the morale goes up!" The Regional manager demands respect but has NEVER did anything to earn it – it’s just owed to him because of his position – and he’ll tell you that too. The Assistant Regional manager ALWAYS has a hidden agenda!

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.
