I am also a former employee of Orkin and let me tell you almost all of the negative comments for mentioned are absolutely, positively true. I thought maybe it was just the branch I worked for but after reading over the comments made by other Pest technicians, I can clearly see that it wasn't just by branch but the entire corporation. I spent approximately three long grueling years with an unappreciative staff that only wanted more, more and then more, well you get the point, from you. During the interview process they will tell you anything to get you to join their team, but you will soon find out there is no team, it's everyman or woman for themselves. Long hours, lousy benefits and a schedule you can't even plan a bathroom call on. If you hate sales and quota's definitely steer away from Orkin. There motto should be " Show me the money!" It is not how we can assist the customer in their pest problems, it's how soon can you get us the money or sign this contract will take care of your bugs later, if I have the time. A place where managers come and go and only like to tell you what you want to hear and not listen to what you have to say. You might say I'm just a whiner but let me tell you, I have given my all for this company with nothing in return. Employment benefits that were promised upon dismissal was just another preempted lie. I am still fighting that battle. I was not fired but physically and emotionally unable to continue the pace Orkin required. There was no organization in this company. Everyone fought for morsels of pesticides when we did receive them. It was all about saving company money with little concern for the customers. As far as health protection, Ha! Ha!, your lucky to have an up to date filter in your mask. Proper protective equipment was far and in between. Well, I believe you get the point. In the future go with a good christian mom and pop pest control company who base their values on the customers and have a conscience. If you ever decide to work for Orkin, I will pray for your soul...
