Pros

Benefits, use of company vehicle that tracts your every step and they watch where you go and how long you are doing things.

Cons

Your treating disgusting, dirty homes infested with rats/mice, bed bugs, roaches and fleas. All you can bring home it to another customers house.

We regret that you did not feel fairly treated by our organization. Orkin offers a variety of jobs and some of them can me more labor intensive than others. However, when you are going into homes, you are helping people by protecting the places they live, work, and play. You are able to make a difference in their life and make them feel safe and comfortable again. Best of luck in your next role.

"Orkin's jobs offer variety and we agree that a great a perk is meeting new people! For our sales and service roles, we provide a company vehicle equipped with safety features and GPS. To clarify, the GPS is used similarly to the major delivery companies to provide the most efficient routing to get to as many customers as possible. In cases of accidents, we can actually recreate the accident digitally to see what happened. It does of course monitor speeding, harsh maneuvering, harsh braking, etc. which not only keeps our drivers safe but others as well. The goal of vehicle safety technology is to reduce risky driving behavior and to prevent or mitigate the impact of on-road crashes. We accomplish this through positive employee engagement and by setting expectation on how we use the technology to coach and build a defensive driving culture. These efforts protect our workplace, the motoring public and the communities or businesses that we serve on a daily basis. We hope this clarify your concerns.

Thanks for providing notes about your experience but we regret it wasn’t a longer term fit for you. We appreciate the feedback that our managers need to work closer with the Trainees. Good luck to you!
