Pros

I worked with a good group of people including leadership.

Cons

Tried to cover 10,000 square miles. Call center would just overlap appointment times. Lots of calls to reorganize expectations that had already been set. You could make good money if you are willing to work 14 hours a day 6 days a week.

Orkin regrets that this was your experience with the company. The Springfield area and surrounding market is a larger one from a miles perspective. We hope you raised any concerns you had with your local or regional leadership so they could address them directly. Best of luck in your future endeavors!

Thanks for taking the time to provide a review. The service business can be both a demanding and rewarding one. In order to better understand the timing of our services and travel required, we do have technology we are implementing to try to optimize the experience by both our technician and for our customer. We wish you luck in your next opportunity.
