Pros

We are in the business of helping people! I enjoy and take a lot of pride in the fact that we protect people and their homes. I have worked for two different region mangers in my year at Orkin, both of which are great leaders that care for our customers and our employees, and are very passionate about making sure we deliver raving fan service.

Cons

We work hard! Which to me is a good thing. Depending on the job you will be required to go under homes which is not for everyone.

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.
