Pros

That you have a job

Cons

They don’t give you a set schedule and always wanna throw bull on you. Managers are the worst and I worked in A Pest Control Company before so I know how things are but they top it. Multi million company but really act like there broke. DONT NOT CARE FOR THIER EMPLOYEES AT ALL!!! You don’t get paid enough to deal with the BS they give you. You legit don’t have a personal life if you work here. When the corona virus outbreak happen they still wanted you to interact with people and they did NOT provide mask for you nor hand sanitizer so they putting there employees at risk for the virus. All the president said was it’s not an epidemic . Just keep In mind if you apply here if you don’t wanna get treated like garbage

We appreciate your feedback, and we are so sorry you have had this experience. It’s not representative of the employee experience we strive to have, especially as we work to continue safely serving our customers as an essential service. With most of the PPE going to first responders, it has been a challenge to access new supplies. We are working diligently to back-fill our supply chain. As a current employee, you should be able to reach out right away to your manager, Region Manager, Division HR Director, or you can reach out to orkinemployeesupport@rollins.com, with your concerns. They can help make sure you have the tools and resources to feel safe about doing your job. Thank you so much for your work each day!

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.
