Pros

Awesome team, managers and support.

Cons

It's a boomer company so expect low pay and low raises.. 25 cent raise every April while your branch brings in anywhere from $200k-$300k let that sink in... Long hours for low pay. They make you seem so happy that you can take your truck home like bro you know all tech routes bring in $20k each and you want us to be proud for "YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TRUCK HOME"

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.
