Pros

Work from home is the only pro..

Cons

You are nothing but a number, Super micro managed, Most people here have never been in pest control. Management is clue less about actually trying to help, all they care about is their numbers and bottom line. You'll never know how much youll get paid. No cost of living increases. Dont recommend. I hope higher up managment gets their head out their behind and actually care about their employees. You take 50-60 calls a day with someone hounding you as to why you stopped working for more than 2 minutes because the company has calls waiting.

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.
