Orkin Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

freedom to excel and the recognition

Coworkers and the customers you need

I genuinely like the service industry and that is what our company is supposed to be founded on. However, constant need for implementation of products, programs, and production interfering programs, makes it hard for us to service customers as we are too busy working through programs and monitoring.

teamwork, communication and interaction among coworkers.

Review from Operations Dept

From Branch Manager down, there is an attempt at the "Brotherhood Motto". Mostly. They ask about your family and say family comes first, it doesn't always feel true, but they say it

Review from Customer Success Dept

Support and communication between coworkers

Culture diversity and easy To get along with .

coming in everyday and seeing how everybody has been and what has happened in the hours that we weren't together, laughing and eating lunch as a group and talk about the issues if there were ones to figure out

Lots to learn about the industry

The value I have with my customer's.

The only positive thing is my customers

I used to be able to manage my route and complete my days and still have time for my family. Each day brings more and more micro management to the point I’m always on the road working or on the phone trying to smooth over customers mad over changes made at the offi

Working with the customers and solving problems

Review from Customer Success Dept

We work as a team and always help each other out when needed

Review from Operations Dept

Upper Management seemed to be motivating and caring for their people. Training Program was second to none when I was there and it's what made Orkin number 1 in the industry. However, when they went from Liquid Termite Treatment to Bait and Targeted Liquid Treatment, sales became more difficult.

Review from Operations Dept

You can be yourself here, everyone is just here to do the job no drama.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Get audited. Improve flawed systems

Real saftey and honesty with transparancy

Managers need to be trained better not just knowing Orkin product is going to sustain a great team

Be more welcoming with the employees

Dont make technicians managers. Hire qualified people managers

Management needs to change it seems like they don't really care about us only cares about the company

Care about the work being done and the people doing the work.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Better training and more realistic expectations.

The manager and service manager needs to be more understanding to there employees and get out in the field when we need there help. Most of the time they sit in the office watching what we are doing

Probably leadership, It all starts from the top down and I felt very undervalued as an employee

Better pay. Not over working your employees

The management should not be able to make decisions off of ther personal feelings toward a group of people

Stop abusing employees and actually hire people that cares

Training, Staffing and a restriction on how many hours worked

they need to follow law and policy

Review from Operations Dept

If they would be fair and got things done when they should get things done for the new people.

Review from Sales Dept

This branch would be better without a certain person

Management needs to think of their employees best interest. Managers work significantly less hours then their technicians. Management ask technicians to do extra work while they are home. Management can be rude.

Review from Operations Dept

Better qualified management team in place. How can 1 manager run 4-5 branches
