Business outlook
Pros
Excellent compensation relative to experience and effort required. You get 14% commission on top of a small base pay. Typical salesmen sell about $30k per month, so you do the math. You get a newer car, gas, etc. Warm leads handed to you almost daily. Very laid back work environment with fun coworkers. You can make as much as you want to put into it, but with any effort, you will make $60k-$80k working only 30-40 hours per week.
Cons
Not many cons. Can’t have a beard or visible tattoos. The uniform (which Orkin is proud of) looks silly and makes you feel like you are in a costume. Randomly asked to work Saturday if the region isn’t hitting goals (even if you are hitting your personal goal).
