* Leadership changes every 3-5 years
* Micromanaging disguised as "trust but verify"
* Work/Life balance is horrific. If you're in management, expect to be on-call 24/7
* Unless you "know someone", you're nothing more than a number
* HR is more concerned about protecting the company than they are employees
* All employees are held accountable for safety (rightfully so), but the company doesn't breathe safety
* Thinking about outside sales? They'll promise you the moon in earning potential. Reality is you will make $1200 per month + commission. Unless you're a pushy, top 10% performer, you won't make more than $40K.
* Thinking of being a Pest Control Tech? You'll work 10-12 hour days, without an hourly wage. Yup, it's commission/production. Want to take vacation? No problem. All the work you missed while you were away will be waiting when you get back. Orkin doesn't staff ahead or for these things. Oh, and after your 10-12 hour shift, you'll have sales and collection call nights.
* There's no room for creativity. Everyone must march to the same beat.
* You will always hear far more criticizing than praising. Don't take your tie off when it's too hot. Don't make a mistake on a report. Don't try hard and fall short. No matter how important it is, don't post something on the wall that's not inside of a frame. Don't call out sick.
