Orkin takes the health and safety of our employees very seriously and we are concerned about your comments listed here. We strongly encourage you to escalate this matter internally through your leadership/HR Director as soon as possible. Orkin has been an industry leader in the Pest Management industry for the last 50 years and requires proven safety precautions for any individuals who might come in contact with hazards. In your role of a Commercial Account Manager, you are required to participate in exhaustive training which includes protocols on how to recognize and avoid hazards, wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment for the conditions and raise concerns with management for guidance. Again, the company recommends that you to report this through the proper channels, so we can get a better understanding of your situation. Thank you!

Pros

Opportunity to work for a well-established and respected industry leader with a strong reputation. Competitive pay with performance-based incentives and opportunities to increase earnings. Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development to build valuable skills. Clear career advancement opportunities into leadership, management, or specialized roles. Excellent teamwork and support from experienced colleagues and managers.

Cons

Long hours and overtime may be required during peak pest control seasons. Daily exposure to pests, insects, rodents, and tight or uncomfortable spaces may not be suitable for everyone. Meeting sales or performance goals can be stressful, especially in customer-facing roles. Work schedules may include evenings or weekends to accommodate customer needs.
