Top-notch training and support from technical departments.
Cons
Your entire career is predicated on the regional manager's liking you or not. It is set up as a small kingdom, and that person is your King. If they don't like you, it is best to just quit and go somewhere else.

Thank you for your feedback. It is unfortunate to hear about your management concerns with the company. We will share this feedback with leadership as we are always striving to improve the employee experience. Good luck in the future.
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.
