Money was beautiful Meeting new faces was wonderful

office staff was not up to par. There is a lot of miscommunication and stress. You can work your butt off and it seems to never be enough.

We are disappointed that this was your experience with the company. Orkin has invested in technology to help the flow of services and communication to help with the demands of our service business. However, we always urge any employees that have concerns to address them with the location leaders timely (or region or division staff) so they can be addressed directly. Good luck to you in your future endeavors.

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.
