Vantaggi

You know them, don't you? Yes, you do know them, and that is why you apply: you give your time and labor, a commodity of sorts, and you get some money, representing All Things. What else: you expect to be treated in a way that is respectful. That's why I applied, that's why you consider applying. Hopes and Promises.

Svantaggi

Broken promises, stress at every level of the operation at an unhealthy level (shouting matches, safe operation of vehicles and equipment cut short, essential education skipped, ...) and I'm not kidding, but we lost a customer ON THE SAME DAY of announcing one of those drives to sell (speak: push) our services - go figure. Now this: Orkin has been the subject of many lawsuits around the country over recent years for alleged faulty service and slipshod practices. Notably, Orkin was investigated in Florida for racketeering in 2004 for its termite contracting practices, with one source citing over 15,000 consumer complaints in the state in a four-year period. This investigation comes on top of multiple lawsuits around that state alleging fraud and poor performance, and similarly around the nation. (for more check out Wikipedia)

Vantaggi

Good pay, opportunities for sales depending on region

Svantaggi

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.
