Pros

Uhhh... I must enter 5 words apparently.

Cons

Where to start lol. This place is literally a sweatshop in the service industry offering the most subpar garbage pest control service in the entire industry. But you can go to google or yelp to see for yourself how horrible their business practices are and how worthless the pest control is. I only bring it up to point out that if you were to get a job here, you can be sure your job won't be safe as the incoming recession is sure to hit Aptive hard. No reason anyone with any common sense would be signing up for pest control right now, much less with a garbage company like Aptive. Acquisition: Aptive was recently acquired by some soulless venture capitalist fund. I'm sure that'll be great for your job security. Offshore employees: They're HUGE on their offshore operation. They don't value the quality of western devs over the "savings" of cheap overseas labor, and it shows it the quality of their codebases. Just wait until you see what a mess it is in there. Not to mention, since they don't value higher quality code, it again doesn't bode well for your job security. Benefits: Very mediocre benefits. Not the worst I've seen but pretty bad for this size of company. Pay: Not horrendous but definitely below industry standard. Again, see offshore devs. Why would they pay well? I'm sure more layoffs are on the horizon. I just got laid off last week despite having been just hired in December. What a joke. Don't make the worst mistake of your career with a recession looming. This company will not last.

Pros

​Stepped Training & Weekly Classes: Management is great about not overwhelming you. We learn new technology one step at a time, and we have weekly team classes to make sure everyone has the information "down pat" before moving on. ​Veteran Mentorship: This company truly values experience. They lean on veteran technicians to walk new employees through every step of the process so they aren't left alone on a route until they are 100% comfortable. ​Customer Loyalty: Our "Reduced Risk" approach (using botanical-based pyrethrins and EPA-approved treatments) is high-quality. I’ve seen that even when customers leave for other options, they almost always come running back once they realize the value of our service. ​Collaborative Bonus Culture: We have monthly bonuses, and we actually help each other hit them. In our meetings, if one tech finds a better way to hit a goal, they share it so the whole "family" can maximize their earnings. ​Strong Communication: You are never on an island. There is constant contact and support between co-workers, supervisors, and manageme

Cons

Adapting to Change: The industry moves fast and the technology is always evolving. It takes a professional mindset to stay on top of the weekly classes and new mobile systems. ​Physical Energy: This is a high-energy field role. It requires daily stamina and a strong work ethic to manage the routes effectively and keep up with the pace.
