Pros

Hard to think of any. At first you get paid a regular paycheck for 3 months then you are expected to be on straight commission.

Cons

You are expected to con customers into buying service from Orkin. You are forced to make people finance instead of just paycheck or cash. They want you to show up at 8 am every morning Even if your first appointment isn't until 10 am hours away in the other direction. Management will absolutely lie to your face, management does not pull you aside when you make a mistake or not performing up to standards. They literally do it in front of everybody. Call you out. Shame you let you know you're not doing a good job. Or you made a mistake or just about anything that's going on. They want to make sure everyone knows about 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.
