Pros

Orkin is a stable large corporate company with great benefits and company truck. 401k matching and company trips. Working outside every day.

Cons

Poor management, micromanagement, poor service, very unprofessional toxic environment. Lots of driving. Have to go into an attic and crawl space 5 times a day.

Pros

Pay is decent, that is really all I can say that was a pro. Having a work phone I guess is a pro.

Cons

Highest turnover i have ever sen. Service manager(not top manager) should not be in any management role. unrealistic expectations and hours. No family life allowed unless your the service manager. Being talked to and treated like a child is not professional I'm an adult. Pay to hours worked is actually very low. Extreme lack of communication at the branch in Brunswick, which I was argued with for bringing that up in a meeting. Management is the downfall of this location.
