Pros

Hours 8-5ish monday-friday w some Saturdays. Company vehicle and gas card (but you still have a charge for them on your check)

Cons

1. They are a dishonest company. You are expected to push services on every customer every time even if they dont need them by creating a problem and urgency that isn't there. 2. You receive little to no training whatsoever. Pass your certification and figure the rest out on your own 3. Pay is commission only with gaps as long as months with low results out of your control. 4. Benefits are offered but unaffordable. 5. You have to pay monthly for your own uniform and it takes them months to get one for you, so for the first few months you are ruining your own clothes. 6. Management is clueless and tells you to follow the process without giving a clear understanding of what the process is.

We are gravely concerned with the notes in this post. Every associate has a vast amount of training on solution-focused sales based on each customers needs. We do not condone pushy or dishonest tactics and in fact, those need to be reported accordingly. If you will consider share more details so we can investigate these matters further, please contact: employeesupport@rollins.com

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.
