Pros

The auto scheduling system they have and the notification system for the customers is good when it works properly. Boots and uniforms are supplied by the company as well as hats, belts, and anything you may need for appearance.

Cons

The last manager I had is what killed my time at Orkin. Emphasis was on profit instead of people. The amount of work we do at orkin is dumb and unnecessary, simple accounts are made overly complicated because of orkin policy and prices they charge customers. Cameras in the truck are good when needed to defend you but also make you feel that big brother is always watching. People were sent all over the place and no one really had a set route. Everyone covered everything

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.
