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.

At Orkin, we strive to be an employer of choice in your market. The company does not condone disrespectful behavior in any way and are disappointed that this is your experience. We are very concerned with your comments and perspective and urge you as a current employee to escalate this matter to your Region Manager and HR Director. Also available is orkinemployeesupport@rollins.com if you prefer. Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much for your time so far with Orkin and sharing your experience as a new employee. We are interested in learning more as we do not support some of the behavior you mention as well as want to improve our onboarding and training. If we can understand the root of the challenge with the system and the documentation we may be able make things a lot smoother for you and others! Would you consider reaching out to the Division HR Director so we can better understand your challenges? We appreciate your support!
