Vantaggi

Working by yourself most of the day. If you are a robot that is definitely a pro!

Svantaggi

Management seems as though they are unwilling and do not care to connect with Technicians. Either they have been off the actual job for a long time, or they have hired a new manager that has zero pest control experience and/or just blatantly do not care. No real schedule, if you have a family you had better say your good byes, you will never see them again...ever. 7:30am to 7-9pm is an average daily schedule. They will work you to death and get mad when you call out sick though technically you are human and not a robot. If you are a robot then yes, Orkin is the perfect place to work!! I am hourly, making a few dollars over minimum wage, no health care and seemingly no benefits of any kind other then having managers taking an hour out of our paychecks for lunch even when they know that there is absolutely NO time for lunch with all the jobs they give us. It is truly unacceptable to text your employee at 5:40pm on friday to tell them that they are working Saturday morning. They treat you like dirt and pay you the same way.

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.
