Vantaggi

Great week long training in Atlanta. Much on the job training and continuous support from branch manager, who can make your experience good or horrible. Company vehicle and gas card.

Svantaggi

Long hours. Been working 55+ hours per week Mon - Sat because we are below projected sales. When slow time of the year (Nov - Feb) thay want you working extra hours to pull sales. During the peak season, they view "time as money" and want you out there taking advantage of it. I suppose this is one major reason for the high turnover. They also do a poor job of getting you leads in the slow season. I was handed one maybe two a week. You have to call yourself and set up the remaining 25+ appointments yourself. The pay could be very good but when adjusted to a 40 hour week, it comes out to ~$25K a year. If you have no family or social life and are willing to be married to a job, this is for you.

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.
