Orkin Response

At Orkin , we offer great careers and fantastic earnings potential, once qualified after the training period. Also, pesticides can be dangerous if not used properly. This is one reason why Orkin has invested heavily in our Rollins Learning Center and in the training of our team members. While we want to provide a pest free environment for our customers, that must be done in a way that protects our team members, our customers and their guests. Mis-use of pesticides is not tolerated.

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.
