Training is intense but very good. Selling is not easy but the rewards make it all worth while. The hardest part was crawling under houses and picking up dead rats. My co-workers were all wonderful and very caring. I still keep in touch with them..

More stress filled environment than was necessary for pest control. Company has difficulty combining their old processes with new ones. New processes, i.e. online payment system, are needed to keep pace with the changes in the structure of coporate America.

General administrative environment. Requires full time commitment not adaptable for individuals to adjust hours to continue furthering education.

Poor commission structure, High micro management, high amount of recognition, good base salary, excellent branch managers and regional sales Managers

Orkin has the best training program in the business today I really enjoyed working for orkin.

Poor management and organization. not a good job for a family man
