Easily the most horribly ran and dishonest company I have ever known

Inspector (sales)

Business Outlook

Pros

Hours 8-5ish monday-friday w some Saturdays. Company vehicle and gas card (but you still have a charge for them on your check)

Cons

1. They are a dishonest company. You are expected to push services on every customer every time even if they dont need them by creating a problem and urgency that isn't there. 2. You receive little to no training whatsoever. Pass your certification and figure the rest out on your own 3. Pay is commission only with gaps as long as months with low results out of your control. 4. Benefits are offered but unaffordable. 5. You have to pay monthly for your own uniform and it takes them months to get one for you, so for the first few months you are ruining your own clothes. 6. Management is clueless and tells you to follow the process without giving a clear understanding of what the process is.

We are gravely concerned with the notes in this post. Every associate has a vast amount of training on solution-focused sales based on each customers needs. We do not condone pushy or dishonest tactics and in fact, those need to be reported accordingly. If you will consider share more details so we can investigate these matters further, please contact: employeesupport@rollins.com

Pros

I love that I am rewarded based upon my performance. I am supported as I do my job. We are a family oriented company that believes in taking care of our people.

Cons

I can't think of any cons other than Orkin is a large company and there are a lot of rules and policies but that is just part of working for a large organization.
