      We respectfully disagree with your concerns of being profit-centric only and regret that this was your experience leaving our organization. While we are a financially healthy publicly traded company on the NYSE, we do not condone meeting goals by any means. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

      Company doesn’t value Technicians. This Review is all True

      Technician

      Pros

      Co workers, some Branch Managers and Service Managers, Meeting new people and helping resolve their problem

      Cons

      Some Managers haveno Pest Control experience and do not respect veteran technicians and technician ideas and opinions, dictatorship and greed, management hate to see technicians make more money than them even though the CUSTOMER and TECHNICIANS are the reason everyone gets paid. Stop taking away from technicians and pay them they have Responsibilities TOO. Working 6 days a week and having one weekend of for years now. Ridiculous. Management get there 2 weekends off.

      We appreciate your time and perspective as a current and tenured employee. Orkin values our technicians and does not condone the behaviors you describe and we want the chance to address them in the proper manner so we urge you to please reach out to your Region Manager, Division President or Division HR Director. Or, if you prefer, employeesupport@rollins.com

      Pros

      If your on commission they pay great. Leadership from service supervisor to regional big dog boss all wonderful people. They truly care about their employees well being. Which in turn subconsciously pushed me to treat my customers better. The work is easy sometimes I felt over compensated. Maybe because I'm a former paratrooper I felt it was easy. I don't know because some people would complain their tired after a 8 hour day of walking around shooting a squirt gun. No one told me or paid me to write this review. Its all around a great company. I left to be closer to my family in Arizona where there is no job openings. Why are their no job openings you ask? Because if you have a sliver of good work ethic you retire from Orkin. Also no bosses breathing down your neck if you do what your suppose to. Good benefits and vacation time.

      Cons

      I heard rumors they were switching techs to hourly pay. If that's true I'm disappointed, the commission set up was absolutely phenomenal. Please don't get greedy Orkin you'll break my heart lol.

      This is great feedback and we love to hear from team members about just how great this job is! Please keep in touch with the Orkin branches in your new location …and we have additional branches that are also in the Rollins Family of brands including HomeTeam Pest Defense - so we hope you'll check it out! As for the pay, we are always looking for ways to meet employees needs and the service our customers. Some states require hourly pay so look at this on a case by case basis. Thanks again and I hope you can pick up your career with us again!
