Pros

Make your own schedule, company vehicle, okay pay

Cons

I've worked for multiple bosses, and depending on who your branch manager is, will really depend on how much you enjoy this job. Currently my branch manager is not the greatest. A lot of micromanagement, a lot of focusing on your downfalls, instead of your strength. Current management team is very sneaky, and very under handed. They truly aren't suited for this job, they are more of a trap checker . Almost no ability to problem solve, will consistently redirect you to someone else for an answer. Have slowly been removing, our current benefits. So you really are ability to make our own schedules. This company was great when I started with them 6 years ago. They were very technician oriented, they were very customer oriented. Now the technicians are bogged down , with the quality and min scope of service suffering because of it.

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.
