Pros

Great pay if you want to work 6 am to 8 pm, and 6 to 8 hrs Saturday. I lasted 3 to 4 months. Grossing near 5k each month.

Cons

Too many hours. I serviced 7 counties and the ladies in the office thought all accounts were 5 minutes apart. Which led to me putting in super long days to service all residential accounts they scheduled. When corporate got a call and got a service this time was not considered during your day making it even longer. Supplies stocking was an issue to perform my job. Why would you need glue boards? (When it is supposed to be all ipm). I was the only employee putting in enough hours for overtime and that pay was not paid correctly. The office needed route planning software as the lack of knowledge that towns are more than 5 minutes away from each other. I replanned my route as orkin asks you to do and the office still scheduled however they felt. The worst part was 1 office employee was known for throwing checks away to get employees in trouble, I was highly offended when I was accused of stealing and asked repeatedly to visit that customers house and demand a new check. ( This was a franchise and not corporate)
