Pros

You can take your truck home if you pay part of the insurance, but not for personal use. If you are management, you can use for personal things. Even your spouse can use.

Cons

Have to work 6 full days a week. Too much work. Stress. Management and company cares less about employees. Being a Supervisor is even worse....you will be on duty call 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, and work an average of 12 hrs a day. People burn out regularly.

Pros

Recession proof job with industry leader Company car/gas card,I-phone,I-Pad,Uniforms Paid training and ongoing training Team environment Outside in the field Fast paced

Cons

Super dirty and very physical job We PROMOTE & SELL Orkin services but send SUB-CONTRACTORS to do most of our work. We're turning into Home Depot. Long hours Revolving door, constantly understaffed which requires the rest of us to do other people's jobs Salary is a joke

Pros

Company car, gas card, customers are usually happy to see you.

Cons

Micro managing, long hours including weekends. They frown, I mean frown, on requesting time off. If you get your route done, instead of presiding you for it, they'll send you 2 hours away to help another tech who has been slacking off.
