Pros

Flexible schedule, good pay compared to other companies in the same type of business.

Cons

Good ole boy mentality, lack of respect for customers and employees. If only upper management really knew how bad the service is and the fact that local management could care less. When trying to get a manager to assist in a customer concern and actually make them work you're put on a black list. I love when they hold meetings to talk about our customer rating scores because it is so hypocritical. Customers have to make 10 calls to finally have management call them back, by that time consider that customer gone and the 10 people they know never calling us because the bad word of mouth.

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.
