Pros
Orkin has a long history and is as stable a company you will find. Marketing has improved in the last couple of years. Sales and route manager positions reward excellence and provide vehicles / gas. If you have the right manager, there is a great support system and great flexibility. New technology is being integrated into sales approach, which is extremely helpful and convenient. Training is available if you take advantage of it. A lot of managers came up through the ranks.
Cons
Bugs... Crawl spaces... Attics.. If you are claustrophobic find another sales job. With improved technology comes 'big brother'.. New vehicles are lo-jacked and there are lots of hoops to jump through to report your activity. Again, this can be annoying or even disruptive depending on management. Orkin doesn't reward customer loyalty, persistent price hikes can agitate customer base. Leads are season dependent ... Plan on spending a couple of hours on the phone each day setting up appointments.
