Pros

Great Branch Manager, company car, no Sundays, 2 Saturdays a month, most of the time home for dinner at 6pm, uniforms provided, fair health benefits, great holiday benefits, 401 matching, close to my house.

Cons

Upper management is not realistic, just because one branch is doing well, don't mean all branches can do as well in Sales. It is a sales job, selling more to each customer, after the second year, you have offered everything already to the same customer. Prices are high, no matter if we are Orkin, we are not competitive to other companies. Cars can't do 70 mph really is stupid, at least do the speed limit. To much paperwork and not enough help building business, the admin staff don't like taking care of customers calls. Managers don't like follow up on customers calls.

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.
