Pros

Orkin is a good company to work for. The training program is top notch. The pay compensation is some of the best in the industry. Upper management while remote at times listens to the employees and acts if possible to requests.

Cons

Company is a little old fashioned and can be slow to implement new ideas. Being "on call" means you are expected to answer your phone 24/7 and this is based primarily on seniority so if you are low man on the totem poll you are never rely off from work.

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.
