Pros

Pay was fair for the job. Region management cared to develop people via the leadership development program. This helped to care for the people you lead before the numbers! SOCAL 759 is the place to be!! Team atmosphere and culture I experienced was top notch. Only reason I left and it was a tough decision was a surprise offer came my way in a new industry for a lot more money. Even though the money was greater I still had to think it over because the environment was so good.

Cons

For the technicians summer can be a make or break in the industry. You may see long hours in season but a solid staffing posture helps that and the help of your team. As far as the service manager job I have no cons. Loved my time and the people i met.

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.
