Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. Orkin regrets that this was your experience with us as it is never our intention for team members to feel this way. This season was unusual in that there was a significant uptick in all pests populations which resulted in more services needing delivered. We hope that you had a chance to provide this feedback on a local level so we can improve our resource levels if needed as we service customers. Should you have additional concerns, please contact the Division HR Director. Wishing you success in your next opportunity

Pros

I worked with a good group of people including leadership.

Cons

Tried to cover 10,000 square miles. Call center would just overlap appointment times. Lots of calls to reorganize expectations that had already been set. You could make good money if you are willing to work 14 hours a day 6 days a week.

Orkin regrets that this was your experience with the company. The Springfield area and surrounding market is a larger one from a miles perspective. We hope you raised any concerns you had with your local or regional leadership so they could address them directly. Best of luck in your future endeavors!

Thanks for taking the time to provide a review. The service business can be both a demanding and rewarding one. In order to better understand the timing of our services and travel required, we do have technology we are implementing to try to optimize the experience by both our technician and for our customer. We wish you luck in your next opportunity.
