Pros

They always have work if you want it

Cons

They will work you more then most would feel to be reasonable. Never know when your day ends as add ons is common and often without notice. Management believes on speaking half truths, leaving out the known negatives to get you to t ifhink/believe and intentionally lead you down a false but choosen path. It's money first here people as it publicly traded and stockholders matter much more then you ever will. Not much quality of home life as they will sap all you have during your 10-12 hour days.

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.
