little to no room to move up unless work in the field and have a license, pay low, medical benifit is very bad, like working in a 10 emp company, no HR, if have an issue, no one to get help from. upper mgrt keeps locked in another part of office.
Orkin Response

We regret that this was your experience with the organization. Orkin has GREAT career potential as well as HR support. We hope you were able to voice your concerns as the local, region or division level and wish you the best of luck at your next opportunity.
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.
