Pluspunten

There is a great opportunity to learn the pest control trade and earn well with Commissions.

Minpunten

Toxic work environment. Office in London Ontario picks favourites and treats everyone else poorly based off of preference and not capabilities. Incompetent office staff doing scheduling and some management with severe anger issues. Multiple times daily manager screams at staff, causing staff to not feel comfortable going to him with issues. Poor training and lack of guidance for new hires. Multiple human rights violations. Supplied with broken machinery on a daily basis. During the pandemic we were not supplied with enough gloves to do our job properly and keep us safe. No follow through with staff that cut corners and do poor work. Schedulers giving priority to family members doing pest control while managers watch and do nothing about it. Layoffs based on favouritism and not seniority.

Pluspunten

Good pay, opportunities for sales depending on region

Minpunten

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.
