You get to wear an Orkin uniform just like the technicians !
Cons
Salespeople managed by operations people, next to no leads, a lot of paperwork and reports every day, very poor earning potential

We appreciate your service to our company with your tenure listed here. Orkin does have a sales and operations model and support our technicians having the opportunities with those customers they are already helping. This allows for consistency as well as rewarding employees accordingly. Training and coaching for our sales reps and account managers is provided regularly by Regional Sales Managers. We are sorry this was no longer a fit for you and wish you the best in your future endeavors!
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.
