Pros

Solid Company, good training program, many experienced and successful account managers. Some good commercial sales leaders.

Cons

Do NOT accept a role as Account Manager with a branch that is a “Combo” branch. Only join a “commercial” branch if you want to be in commercial sales as a sales Mgr. It’s a known problem inside Orkin that Account Managers in Combo branches are at a tremendous disadvantage because the sales office management team focus almost exclusively on residential sales and are NOT that knowledgeable about commercial sales. This greatly diminishes the ability to learn the ropes and have success.
