EXTREMELY MISERABLE COMPANY TO WORK FOR

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I guess getting some income is ok- thats the only positive thing.

Cons

Where to start, Stuck in the 50's Men Must wear a tie to work with women must wear stockings. Men, no facial hair what so ever. Outdated policies and outdated Information Technology equipment. Lots of internal politics and favoritism. Question I have for everyone- on black friday- would you think or call for pest control? Well That is a mandatory working day at Rollins/Orkin- Like I said outdated archaic policies are the norm at Rollins. Do you prefer that day off after Christmas and new years? Forget it- if its a Monday-Friday, you'd have to work. Rollins/Orkin is a miserable company to work for, they do not care for the employees.
