Pros
Pay is pretty good but you have no life or conscience because you're either working all the time including being on call or you're rushing through services and doing a crappy job.
Cons
Work life balance Working with dangerous cancer causing chemicals Weird pay scale only a few routes at a branch are really worth it and obviously those are filled unless someone quites or dies because Orkin rarely fires people. No morals as people are told to sell even though customers contracts state that we are already supposed to treat for what we're up selling On call at least twice a month and you will work a full day and then go home and change just to get called out 30 minutes later or you will be woken up at 12 or 2am in the morning to drive an hour to usually treat a hospital for a bed bug call. Constant turn over meaning you are forced to work extra routes that aren't yours even when you finish your own work Picking up extra routes is usually a waste of time as you only get paid 20% of the service and most small restaurants or mom and pops are only $60 services so you make like $12 when it may take 30 minutes to get there 20 minutes to treat and 30 minutes to go home. You have to pay $120 per month out of your pay check to take a truck home unless you live close enough to the shop but then you must physically return the truck and drive your own vehicle each day and if your on call you must go get the truck at the shop to begin the on call There are no security cameras on the outside of most orkin locations so leaving your personal car is sketchy as people were cutting off work truck catalytic converters at locations and as employees we weren't notified if the perps were caught last year in 2020.
