Pros

great training program, company car, full benefits

Cons

run while you can...this company micro-manages more than any company I've worked for. You do get a company car but it is equipped with GPS and they will even question when you stop to find a bathroom. The way the company is ran makes 0 sense and some of the things they do is mind boggling....like it's 2022 how about your views change as well. Also the account manager role is more of an account executive role as you don't manage your accounts or any account in your territory you're just expected to bring in new business by any means necessary.

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.
