Pros

Seriously, the primary benefit is the salary. If you are on the production system, you can make a lot of money. Sometimes even more than management. My final year in Orkin I made about 70k.

Cons

Your route determines your pay. So if you are in an area without much work, you have to hustle and pick up services in unfamiliar areas to make those ends meet. Some days can be super long hours as well.

Pros

Opportunity to work for a well-established and respected industry leader with a strong reputation. Competitive pay with performance-based incentives and opportunities to increase earnings. Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development to build valuable skills. Clear career advancement opportunities into leadership, management, or specialized roles. Excellent teamwork and support from experienced colleagues and managers.

Cons

Long hours and overtime may be required during peak pest control seasons. Daily exposure to pests, insects, rodents, and tight or uncomfortable spaces may not be suitable for everyone. Meeting sales or performance goals can be stressful, especially in customer-facing roles. Work schedules may include evenings or weekends to accommodate customer needs.
