Pros

Company vehicle is about the only good thing about working here.

Cons

This is a crooked company. They tell you to find something at every home you visit even if there is nothing to report. They tell you "I'm not telling you that you have to find something at every home, but you can find something at every home *wink*." They sell cheap solutions at ridiculously marked up prices and take advantage of people.

Pros

It's a great culture company; it feels like family. Outstanding leadership will take care of you. Potential to grow with the company. It is a career. They believe in work and family balance.

Cons

I have been with Orkin for 23 years, and I cannot complain about anything. If I have any concerns, I usually bring them to my leadership, who takes care of them.
