Pros

Interview process weeds out bad management and workers, great pay, take home truck, bonuses, extensive managment and tech training, working with orkin feels like working with family close knit tight group of people at my branch. If you work for orkin you work hard for a living. Most of the techs in my branch have been with orkin over 10 years that should say alot if your looking for a career.

Cons

Need to implementation of veteran hiring program or a better one. Although hiring process is extensive for managment takes along time. Need update in technology give techs gps for jobs or the system ups uses its a gps and job list all in one would bring up production. Call center in atlanta needs to get on same page as branches need a better system in place for same day calls and need to pay our men on the front lines a bit more.

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.
