Pros

Co workers, some Branch Managers and Service Managers, Meeting new people and helping resolve their problem

Cons

Some Managers haveno Pest Control experience and do not respect veteran technicians and technician ideas and opinions, dictatorship and greed, management hate to see technicians make more money than them even though the CUSTOMER and TECHNICIANS are the reason everyone gets paid. Stop taking away from technicians and pay them they have Responsibilities TOO. Working 6 days a week and having one weekend of for years now. Ridiculous. Management get there 2 weekends off.

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.
