At Orkin, our team members are our number one asset. Orkin employees are helping to make a difference for our customer's businesses every day. In the commercial environment especially, that might require some long hours, especially if the location has gained new accounts as these may be more demanding on time. For pay, we provide each employee and manager specific guidelines on how commission is earned and the pay periods. We want you to feel fairly treated and compensated for the work you do. If you ever have questions regarding this or time off, we encourage you to talk to your manager or contact your Division HR Director if needed to resolve.

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.
