working on your own,meeting new people

Svantaggi

The money they pay does not worth the time and pressure. get to go in the new York area if u want to make money cause they still pay per hour there. i apply on their website for 35k+commission,once in the office ,they gave me 23k+commission contract?!?.and the commission is 21 percent of whatever dollar u make above 12k on your route.i was dying to know exactly how much i will end up taking home. and here is what i took home from my first month as a full route manager: 1800 after tax( salary +commission): i worked 214 hours to get it and i drove 2112 miles for it. now that i signed up for 401 and health plan that cost me another 300 dollars , my net revenue will be 1500 for the month!! Damn, cant pay my bills, cant save money from it. Again it depends on your route , your state and your branch. i know some friends who r doing good on other states for the same job.was not just lucky to apply in a poor branch and state.

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.
