Best and easiest job I have ever had - Pest Control Technician Orkin Employee Review

Pros

Excellent pay for the type of work you do. Incentive to sell or have leads on new jobs by getting a percentage of the revenue for that particular job at the end of the month. Good health insurance and 401K plans. Get to operate out of a company vehicle and get a gas card. Plenty of uniforms, jackets, and boots provided for you. Chemicals and tools provided for you.

Cons

No cons that I have seen so far, but your schedule determines how many hours you put in, and so if you are done with all of your jobs by around 3:00PM, you'll have to ask for more to get your hours in.

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.
