Good commission and decent benefits, good training.
Cons
A lot of paperwork, long hours, generate own leads as minimal from incoming. Compete against techs. Minimal opportunities for advancement.

Thank you for your service to Orkin and leaving a review. We are glad to know that the financial opportunities were a top benefit for you. Regarding your concerns, we understand this is a challenging position as we serve our customers. Good luck in your next role.
Good pay, opportunities for sales depending on region
Cons
Orkin cares more about quantity over quality. If you care about doing a good job, don't work here. They will load your day up with tons of jobs and not enough time to do them (or do a good job anyways.) Management lives in their own bubble, and communicates poorly. I transfered to a new region and all services were a mess. Customers who have had Orkin for a year plus had homes still infested with pests. Prior techs hadn't cleaned any cobwebs, never cleaned webbing off siding or eaves. It was embarrassing. Commercial services weren't any better. I believe prior techs were just scanning stations and leaving. Orkin only cares if you punch through reports and collect money. If you also bring up customers that are being overcharged, management will never fix that either. Benefits also weren't great and quite expensive. Manager would also use slurs like the R-word despite knowing I had an autistic child. Just a gross place with gross values.
