At Insight Pest Solutions, we are confident that our people are the reason for our successes. We truly value our employees and consider them as part of our professional family. Our goal is to offer the very best healthcare possible for all employees and their loved ones. With this in mind, we have developed a comprehensive employee benefits package designed to protect employees and their families.

• Life Insurance
• Accidental Death and Dismemberment
• Critical Illness
• Dental
• Vision
• 401K
• Major Medical

Dependent coverage is optional and available at group rates to each employee. As Insight does contribute to an employee’s major medical monthly premium, employees will pay a portion of their monthly premium. However, all dependents added to an employee’s plan are paid solely by the employee.
All employees working 30 hours or more per week are eligible for benefits. An employee’s benefits will begin the first of the month following the 60-Days of employment. Insight offers two different plan options (Bronze Plan and a Gold Plan) through Aetna.
Insight wants all employees to feel valued and appreciated. This is why all employees enjoy having their Birthday off, with pay. Insight believes that employees should have opportunities to enjoy time away from work to help balance their lives. Insight recognizes that employees have diverse needs for time off from work. After working for Insight for a full year, employees can receive five (5) days of Paid Time Off (PTO). Insight Pest Solutions stays in compliance with states with Sick Time laws.

• New Year’s Day
• Memorial Day

The company pays all vehicle maintenance (oil changes, burnt out light bulbs, etc.). All company vehicles are assigned a gas card linked to that specific company vehicle.
