Pros

The auto scheduling system they have and the notification system for the customers is good when it works properly. Boots and uniforms are supplied by the company as well as hats, belts, and anything you may need for appearance.

Cons

The last manager I had is what killed my time at Orkin. Emphasis was on profit instead of people. The amount of work we do at orkin is dumb and unnecessary, simple accounts are made overly complicated because of orkin policy and prices they charge customers. Cameras in the truck are good when needed to defend you but also make you feel that big brother is always watching. People were sent all over the place and no one really had a set route. Everyone covered everything

Pros

Good pay, opportunities for sales depending on region

Cons

Orkin cares more about quantity over quality. If you care about doing a good job, don't work here. They will load your day up with tons of jobs and not enough time to do them (or do a good job anyways.) Management lives in their own bubble, and communicates poorly. I transfered to a new region and all services were a mess. Customers who have had Orkin for a year plus had homes still infested with pests. Prior techs hadn't cleaned any cobwebs, never cleaned webbing off siding or eaves. It was embarrassing. Commercial services weren't any better. I believe prior techs were just scanning stations and leaving. Orkin only cares if you punch through reports and collect money. If you also bring up customers that are being overcharged, management will never fix that either. Benefits also weren't great and quite expensive. Manager would also use slurs like the R-word despite knowing I had an autistic child. Just a gross place with gross values.
