Pros

Orkin paid decently and gave you a car. They would pay for gas as well as any tolls during work. The manager at my location changed a few times, but they were always decent.

Cons

Commissions were a bit low. I was able to make more in the Hampton area of Virginia than I was in Ohio due to the nature of termites. Commissions should have been set differently depending on region.

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.
