Business Outlook
Pros
Orkin did a great job at getting you to buy in to their culture. Provided a company vehicle, help set up your office, set you up with all the Orkin swag (hats, raincoats, North Face jackets). Got a company iPhone & iPad, very independent in how you work.
Cons
Tough market right now, walking into businesses, cold calling and asking if they need pest control services. Not ideal in the middle of a pandemic. Also had to work weekends if the region was not at a certain percent of the goal by a certain part of the month. Training was poor, just watched videos, didn't really learn about how to treat, just more about identifying pests.
