Pros

Amazing training that can be used throughout your career. Highly recommend getting your Pest Control Applicator license for your state since Orkin will usually pay for this.

Cons

High turnover rate, even at the management level. The company is aging and so are the senior management.

Pros

Great benefits, decent pay. Work/life balance can be hit or miss depending on branch location. I love my job, even with the high stress. Customers and co-workers are friendly.

Cons

Extreme micro-managing. They say they are a family and care about their employees but their actions don't line up. Branch level employees are friendly and seem to care. Region level, cut throat, stay away. Corporate level, out of touch. Do not get sick and have to take medi cal leave.
