Orkin Pest Control Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"RACIST COMPANY!!! DO NOT WORK FOR THEM!!! DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY!! I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE. I WAS EMPLOYED AT COCKEYSVILLE BRANCH!!! PSA ANNOUNCEMENT!!! RACIST"

"Can't believe your statement that service managers are among those who rate their experience highly since it is the most demanding job in field operations with the poorest pay for a salaried position. The company over tasks those managers to death. You rarely have time to plan because of the incredible number of small duties on your plate which increase throughout the day due to customer concerns, "emergencies", etc. Be prepared to work 55 hours a week. On salary. Sales is a position that always needs filling. They hire and fire sales staff like you go through napkins at a rib joint. Decent company but don't settle - keep looking for greatness and don't stop here."

"Orkin is a leader in pest control and services, a brand name that is know by everyone. A great structured learning environment with consistent up dates of trends in the pest control world. National and State license can be achieved as well as college certified coursed approved by Purdue University."

"Has some potential, but there are some issues with the corporate culture. As a manager I noticed a tendency within the culture to take the easier wrong than attempt the harder right. Long term employees are happy with the organization, and the company is making great strides towards modernization."

"I’ve worked for Orkin for less than a year now and I would say that they have a good work ethic and a good team comradery. The pay structure is fair and you do make an hourly plus a production plus they do push for sales so you do make some commissions as well. I would have to say that communication would need some work between the management to the technicians to make the job flow much smoother and the work between the employees less stressful. Also the system has many issues that needs to be addressed and when brought up does not seem to really be of concern since it is supposedly a better system then what was in place previously. Either way, Management should be taking constructive criticism and inserting that into areas that are in need, such as suggestions about the system used by the technicians daily."

"I have worked for Orkin Pest Control since May of 2019. I love the management and they always will find the answer to your problem. Your hours do vary day to day and week to week. You will not get paid hourly but on commission which is a good thing and bad, depending on the job. They have okay health benefits and 401K match."

"Great company to work at, they are great people and they treat all there employees great. They have a great work schedule and are more then willing to accomadate someone if they need some time off or to leave early."
