Pros

Some scheduling flexible around serving homeowners and home life. Some flexibility in how going to find new business and winning new customers. Can expect a certain amount of income guaranteed due to base pay.

Cons

As typical with most companies with sales teams there is no value in being on a “Sales Team.” There is no shared monetary reward for the local sales team out of one office selling more than any other team in the state. The managers encourage competition against other team mates as a motivator which is really out dated lazy style of sales management. The typical reward is a fifty dollar gift card which is taxed at a high percentage. The card ends up netting $30 dollars. This only grows resentment and anger when sales people who are not having a good month sees the fellow “Team Mates” reaping all the rewards.

We appreciate the 5 years of service to our company!!! Keep up the hard work! Since you are a tenured employee, you probably have some great ideas and insight that could help us improve. We encourage you to reach out to your Division HR Director Kevin Whitehead or your Regional / Division Sales Manager to share your perspective.

Pros

Good pay, opportunities for sales depending on region

Cons

Orkin cares more about quantity over quality. If you care about doing a good job, don't work here. They will load your day up with tons of jobs and not enough time to do them (or do a good job anyways.) Management lives in their own bubble, and communicates poorly. I transfered to a new region and all services were a mess. Customers who have had Orkin for a year plus had homes still infested with pests. Prior techs hadn't cleaned any cobwebs, never cleaned webbing off siding or eaves. It was embarrassing. Commercial services weren't any better. I believe prior techs were just scanning stations and leaving. Orkin only cares if you punch through reports and collect money. If you also bring up customers that are being overcharged, management will never fix that either. Benefits also weren't great and quite expensive. Manager would also use slurs like the R-word despite knowing I had an autistic child. Just a gross place with gross values.
