Great pay with simple selling process - Recensione dipendente - Sales Representative presso Aptive Environmental

CO workers and managers are generally awesome

Corporate are evil useless awful people who mandate ridiculous quotas, the sales teams over promises the aptive pro service whatever is garbage, the customers are furious because they were scammed into a contract that's trash for what they pay monthly. The initial service charge discount trap is awful. The expectations for techs are set so high by the wide coverage everyone gets but the service time is typically too short for effective pest control. The company requires photos of every account serviced and almost certainly sells the data to third party data brokers. I was hired for 20.50 an hour in NYS with 7 years pest control exp and license and my own business. After proving my knowledge and ability they refused to give me an offer I couldnt refuse. They want to exploit young techs with low wages and high quotas via intimidating micro management and metrics tracking asking us to service 14-18 houses a day.

​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

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.
