We value our technicians who are on the front lines helping our customers during their difficult times. Orkin and our customers appreciate all our employees who have to perform a difficult job for long hours at a time. We are concerned about the pay comment. If you would like to share more, please email employeesupport@rollins.com so we can review further. Good luck in your next role!

Low pay, no help and sleazy atmosphere.

Outside sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You’re in an autonomous work environment.

Cons

Management doesn’t care about their employees. As a sales Inspector, you rely on commission from sales but you get little to no help from management. Everyone in the branch is given the ability to make sales and gain commission from them so there is very little incentive for front office staff or technicians to pass leads along. Branch and regional sales management makes it evident they want sleazy sales people to push products/services customers don’t actually need or want.

Orkin has a strong history of professionalism and fairness in our proposals with our customers. We train and coach all of our team members to make recommendations as if it were our own home or property. However, our outside sale representatives are asked to be lead generators and are provided the training and support to do so. We regret that was not your experience with us and wish you the best of luck in your future opportunities.
