Pros

The didactic training was very good. You are able to work at your own pace and be self sufficient.

Cons

This was a very dysfunctional corporation that over promised and under delivered on service. The technicians and sales people were always competing for the same accounts and there was very little cooperation between divisions or branches in the same locale. The money was poor and they basically had you paying for your own gas to fuel your own car. The management treated each branch as their own feudal kingdom and was only concerned with their own bonuses.

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.
