Pros

I would not recommend to my worst enemy.

Cons

Company is unprofessional. Posted salary range of $80k+ but will only tell you in person they pay $1000/month base. Yes, that is correct $1,000/month ($250/week) and the rest of the money you “might” make is commission. Not even the worst part. After being “hired” I was told to onboard the next day. When I arrived, no one had a clue what was going on. Instead of onboarding me, the manager asked me to help him and his salesman unload a truck delivery (still not officially hired/onboarded) as of yet. I don’t know if this was some kind of “let’s see if they’ll be a team player test”. After this bizarre interaction I declined and left.

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.
