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.

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.
