Pros

Been in the industry for 16 yrs. Over half of that with orkin, the last 4 as a manager. I love pest control and helping people.

Cons

90% management turnover with the upstate ny region since 2020. New regime came in and changed everything. Toxic work place, people afraid to speak up due to the ramifications. Constant turnover within the branch. All the pressure is on management. Region demands accountability but doesn't hold themselves accountable. Micromanaging is all they do and it comes from the top. Poorly run. Unfair pay. They pay new people with no experience in the Industry more than the long term employees including management.
