Orkin is happy to have you on our team! We understand your concern about having a varied workload and being in the pest management business, we are very seasonally and weather dependent. For this reason, we do coach employees on what to expect as much as possible when we onboard them and will consider in some areas reviewing pay structures that could possibly assist in evening this out bit more for our employees. The good news is that customer service starts with you - so thank you for what you are doing for the company and our customers!

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.
