Pros

There is an hourly base pay which is nice. With the base pay plus the commission you can earn if you put in a good amount of hustle, you can bring in pretty decent pay checks. All inbound calls.

Cons

It is a call center job. So, you get to sit and take inbound calls all day, but there's not much flexibility with your schedule and your time on shift. You are expected to be a bit of a robot in terms of going from one call to the next and you will get micromanaged if you try to take a few minutes to yourself between 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.
