Not a good job if you are a parent

Pros

Work truck Starting work from home

Cons

No respect of personal time. Doesn’t matter if you already have family plans after your shift is supposed to be over, a job will get dropped on you and you have to do it or else you are either reprimanded or EXTRA jobs will get dropped on you the next day. Was promised to start earning production (commission)... 8 months later still nothing. The pay is not worth what you have to deal with, both in the office and out in the field.

First, we regret that this was your experience with Orkin and the location leadership team. Orkin does not condone the behavior you describe and does pay commission accordingly. We sincerely hope you communicated your concerns to your manager and region leadership, as additional assignments with late notice should be infrequent and communicated accordingly. Never the less, as we communicate with all new team members, the service business can be especially demanding during certain times of year and Orkin offers a promise for same day/next day starts when our customers are in great need. With that, THANK YOU for your hard work and sacrifice serving those customers and we hope you have found a role that is a better fit with your family.
