Orkin reviews

Bugs... Crawl spaces... Attics.. If you are claustrophobic find another sales job. With improved technology comes 'big brother'.. New vehicles are lo-jacked and there are lots of hoops to jump through to report your activity. Again, this can be annoying or even disruptive depending on management. Orkin doesn't reward customer loyalty, persistent price hikes can agitate customer base. Leads are season dependent ... Plan on spending a couple of hours on the phone each day setting up appointments.

Terrible work environment in reference to management and schedule. The company policies are not adhered anymore to benefit the employee or even to the customer. As a pest control technician with the company for almost 13 years, the atmosphere in our branch got worse . Management was constantly putting the workers down and overworking us from 7:30am to sometimes 8 or 9 at night due to scheduling conflicts imposed by unscrupulous policies called"same day starts" which forces a technician to accept new customers to be serviced the same day they call in without any regard to the heavy schedule already. The service suffers as a consequence for all involved . Customer relations are constantly jeopardized due to price increases that are sometimes not properly given to notification. Also, forget it if you are hit with any physical ailments. Your job is constantly threatened and if you have a life event that affects your job, the company is hesitant to reach out and help. You are fortunate if you have a branch manager willing to look out for you. There is no real opportunity for raises or being promoted and the incentives for improving is constantly changing where it's become almost impossible to meet.
