Pros

Benefits, use of company vehicle that tracts your every step and they watch where you go and how long you are doing things.

Cons

Your treating disgusting, dirty homes infested with rats/mice, bed bugs, roaches and fleas. All you can bring home it to another customers house.

Orkin Response

We regret that you did not feel fairly treated by our organization. Orkin offers a variety of jobs and some of them can me more labor intensive than others. However, when you are going into homes, you are helping people by protecting the places they live, work, and play. You are able to make a difference in their life and make them feel safe and comfortable again. Best of luck in your next role.

Pros

Opportunity to work for a well-established and respected industry leader with a strong reputation. Competitive pay with performance-based incentives and opportunities to increase earnings. Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development to build valuable skills. Clear career advancement opportunities into leadership, management, or specialized roles. Excellent teamwork and support from experienced colleagues and managers.

Cons

Long hours and overtime may be required during peak pest control seasons. Daily exposure to pests, insects, rodents, and tight or uncomfortable spaces may not be suitable for everyone. Meeting sales or performance goals can be stressful, especially in customer-facing roles. Work schedules may include evenings or weekends to accommodate customer needs.
