Pros

This pest control company is owned by franchise owners not run through a corporate branch. The hours are flexible and there is little supervision.

Cons

No pay raises. Little amount of paid days off even after years or working there. A lot of stress because the owners don't get involved enough.

We regret that this is your experience working at one of our Franchise locations. As you indicated, the owners are responsible for pay and employment matters. However, we will take this under advisement as we do have standards of business conduct that we expect for locations to carry the Orkin name. I encourage you to raise your concerns to the local owners at this time and if unresolved escalate to the Franchise Leadership team. Thank you!

Pros

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.

Thank you for your service to Orkin and leaving a review. It is unfortunate to hear about your concerns with the company, and we are sorry this was your experience as this does not align with our company values. We will be sure to pass this along to the leadership team. Good luck in your next role.
