      Pros

      None, not a single one - well maybe the awesome coworkers having their income halved like me and you could joke and commiserate with them

      Cons

      Worst benefits ever! I payed $800/mo (10k/yr) with a $2,500 deductible. What?????? Family of 3 Work life balance? I made 36k/yr with mandatory 6 day/12 hr days pretty much mandatory.

      Not the best, but certainly not the worst

      Pros

      Orkin seems to have a knack for hiring people who are truly the salt of the earth. Part of what kept me there for nearly seven years was my co-workers. Until the management of my particular department changed, I never had a single day where I dreaded going to work. I knew that I would work hard, but I'd have a lot of laughs, and that there were people there who truly cared for and about me.

      Cons

      For such a successful, nationwide company, the benefits are seriously lacking. As a single-income household, I couldn't afford medical insurance through my own company, and that's inexcusable. Also, upper management (and this is probably an issue in a lot of workplaces) really doesn't put a lot of stock in what they're told by those of us in more front line, "grass roots" positions. There's a lot of lip service given to the importance of Town Halls and Employee Surveys, but upper management tends to circle the wagons if asked to REALLY look at any problem(s).
