Pros

The freedom to work on your own was ok, and at least they gave a 300 dollar a month car allowance.

Cons

There was clear preferential treatment to a certain rep in the office I worked in. My Sales Manager that hired me said I would receive approximately 20 leads a week and then I would fill in the rest. No problem, except I was MAYBE, MAYBE given 1 lead a week, and that was a BIG MAYBE.

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.
