Pros

Good pay especially stock grants

Cons

upper management has lost their direction and moved away from what made Orkin great, their employees. Success is being propped by acquisitions and not the development of employees. The “pay to play” culture mindset (mortgage broker mindset of the 90’s) is growing which will hurt employee retention and organic growth.

Thank you for your service to the company. We regret that this was your experience of late with the organization. As the Region Manager, we hope your specific feedback was raised through channels at the Division and Brand level, so your concerns and ideas on the development and retention of our employees could reach our senior leaders. We do value our employees greatly and invest in their development at all levels with the support of leaders like you, so it is disappointing to hear this feedback. Best of luck to you in your next opportunity.

Pros

Good pay, opportunities for sales depending on region

Cons

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.
