Pros

Truly passionate people, in an otherwise high overturn job

Cons

Constant new hires from people leaving. Branch running out of materials: both chemical and equipment. Management under cutting technicians and sales to “grantee a customer” resulting in low commissions.

Pros

Decent commission and hourly pay. Work from home. Great training program to start. Best PTO program I have ever seen for a sales company.

Cons

Super micro management. Management by threat of CA and PIPS on a regular basis. They tell you what to sell, like mosquito in the winter. If you don't meet that % then you are gone quickly. This pushes many to cheat and now the place is a revolving door of people just looking for their next job. This used to be a profession and now it is a pass through job that you keep until you find something better. They push this Ethos stuff but apparently forgot to read it. Orkin was a company many of us were very proud to be a part of, and now it is like working for a timeshare sales company. If you are not a super pushy sales person and you have a soul or a conscious then this place is not for you. I ran out of fingers and toes trying to count all of the agents and managers that have actually gotten sick from working here. You better get that high dollar insurance quickly to pay for you blood pressure pills and start saving for that heart attack and stroke. When your center has your best year ever they reward you all by lowering your commissions as a bonus. For 3 YEARS STRAIGHT!!!! But no one will remeber that soon, because they seem to intentionally be forcing tenured people out to replace with scape goats that will drink the koolaid long enough to put up some bs numbers before being fired.
