Pros

Easy interview process, some of the technicians were nice.

Cons

They offer extremely low salary with promises you’ll make a lot in commission but do absolutely anything to not pay you. Very disorganized management. Constant, pointless meetings and unrealistic expectations where they give nothing back. Micromanagement. Training is basically you watching random videos with no help or guidance beyond that. Sometimes it’s videos that don’t even pertain to your position. Lots of driving to other offices that could have been done remotely. Some technicians would just say no to doing jobs or do them so poorly you lose the customer. Also claw back on commission for reasons out of your control. Just an extremely negative experience.

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.
