Pros

You’re in an autonomous work environment.

Cons

Management doesn’t care about their employees. As a sales Inspector, you rely on commission from sales but you get little to no help from management. Everyone in the branch is given the ability to make sales and gain commission from them so there is very little incentive for front office staff or technicians to pass leads along. Branch and regional sales management makes it evident they want sleazy sales people to push products/services customers don’t actually need or want.

Orkin has a strong history of professionalism and fairness in our proposals with our customers. We train and coach all of our team members to make recommendations as if it were our own home or property. However, our outside sale representatives are asked to be lead generators and are provided the training and support to do so. We regret that was not your experience with us and wish you the best of luck in your future opportunities.

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.
