Pros

There is money to be made, after the bureaucracy. The benefits are good.

Cons

Co-workers are awesome except that the company puts everyone in a very competitive position, and a lot of hard feelings are born. Also, there is a long chain or command - everyone has several different bosses to report to, which takes away actual production time. What it breaks down to is a few actual workers down at the lower level, and several chiefs somewhere else analyzing. Also, this area is flooded with competitors who offer cheaper services, and not so great service, but most people are only concerned with price. A little difficult to verify personal sales and commission.

We are disappointed to hear that this was your experience working at this location. In fact, Orkin has assessed the leadership in this area and has made some management changes both locally and at the region level to ensure we are focused on our customers and our employees. The Orkin brand is a premium service and we go beyond the call of most local competitors. One employee benefit is a strong sales incentive program but it is not to drive ill will among co-workers. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
