Pros

Excellent compensation relative to experience and effort required. You get 14% commission on top of a small base pay. Typical salesmen sell about $30k per month, so you do the math. You get a newer car, gas, etc. Warm leads handed to you almost daily. Very laid back work environment with fun coworkers. You can make as much as you want to put into it, but with any effort, you will make $60k-$80k working only 30-40 hours per week.

Cons

Not many cons. Can’t have a beard or visible tattoos. The uniform (which Orkin is proud of) looks silly and makes you feel like you are in a costume. Randomly asked to work Saturday if the region isn’t hitting goals (even if you are hitting your personal goal).

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.
