Great to start, goes downhill fast.

Pros

Lots of information to learn, talking to customers can be the best part of the day, sick pay is nice.

Cons

Management picks favorites and those favorites can treat you however they like with no fear of management stepping in. I have been treated poorly, blatantly ignored, and used as a dumping ground for unwanted roles. The work load is far too much for the pay. Training is not adequate.

Pros

Customer connection was awesome while it lasted

Cons

Eight branch managers in 10 years. They tricked everyone after the initial March 15 Covid shutdown and made everyone sign a non-compete remotely. Most everyone I worked with don't remember that it happened, I don't neither, but a few other co-workers said it happened but orkin never gave anybody copies of what we might have signed. Very greedy Godless place.
