At Orkin , we offer great careers and fantastic earnings potential, once qualified after the training period. Also, pesticides can be dangerous if not used properly. This is one reason why Orkin has invested heavily in our Rollins Learning Center and in the training of our team members. While we want to provide a pest free environment for our customers, that must be done in a way that protects our team members, our customers and their guests. Mis-use of pesticides is not tolerated.
