Pros

Solid Company, good training program, many experienced and successful account managers. Some good commercial sales leaders.

Cons

Do NOT accept a role as Account Manager with a branch that is a “Combo” branch. Only join a “commercial” branch if you want to be in commercial sales as a sales Mgr. It’s a known problem inside Orkin that Account Managers in Combo branches are at a tremendous disadvantage because the sales office management team focus almost exclusively on residential sales and are NOT that knowledgeable about commercial sales. This greatly diminishes the ability to learn the ropes and have success.

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.
