Pros

Decent pay, company vehicle, vacation-holiday-floating holiday pay beginning the first day of employment. Opportunity for advancement. You are responsible for your own route and are left alone as long as route is being completed in an efficient manner.

Cons

Long hours. You can expect to spend 50 to 60 hours a week running your route and at least one Saturday a month. However, the more production you service, the more money you make!! Sale and Service is the Key to a good paycheck!

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.
