At Orkin , we offer great careers and fantastic earnings potential, once qualified after the training period. Also, pesticides can be dangerous if not used properly. This is one reason why Orkin has invested heavily in our Rollins Learning Center and in the training of our team members. While we want to provide a pest free environment for our customers, that must be done in a way that protects our team members, our customers and their guests. Mis-use of pesticides is not tolerated.

Pros

They provide a car and uniforms, recognizable company, opportunities within the company to grow if you wish to pursue deeper ties.

Cons

This job is a Huge time commitment. There are Consistent lies to all employees, managers ignore the techs and sales on what is going wrong or right. Disrespectful to employees, both with words, and inconsistent and non reciprocated expectations. They will work you for essentially free labor and move any and all goals to force you to spend more and more time in the field.
