Pros

All of my SPs in Austin, the absolute best people in the world. Loved working with those guys.

Cons

Everything else. The micromanaging of upper management, the broken promises, massive workloads for technicians without listening to concerns. I could keep going if you’d like, the unwillingness to purchase products, taking away local managers ability to pay for things, lying Sales Reps that are not reprimanded. This company loves to preach having top tier KPIs, while only promoting “yes men” who do not have the numbers to backup the promotions. Regional Managers in positions they have no business being in, inappropriate conversations, inappropriate drawn out pictures being sent in group chats by one of the Directors of Operations, and scheduling customers 2-3 times more often than they should be in the year. Just do not get involved with this company if you’re on the operations side. You will be worked to the bone, blamed for all issues, and expected to show up the next day with a smile on your face regardless of how blatant their discrimination is. You will never accomplish what we did in Austin for the last few years, good job ruining the culture of the entire company with these new decisions.

Pros

Company vehicle, gas card, and long hours with overtime (for those people who don’t care about work/life balance), bonuses for people that slave away.

Cons

Extremely long hours (NO work/life balance). Extremely heavy workload (16-18 stops a day, no matter the size of the property). Lack of communication from management. Corporate micromanages often. Company doesn’t care for their employees or customers (Just get the job done, no matter what). Company doesn’t care about the environment, they want you to complete the stops, even in the pouring rain. Company does not follow “Label is Law”. All this company cares about is numbers, if you don’t perform way above average, you will get chastised for it. They expect you to complete all stops, even if it takes 16hrs a day. Company goes through so many changes, it’s so hard to keep up. Salesman for this company lie directly to customers just to lock them into an “agreement”, AKA “a contract”. Once they are locked in with lies they are told by salesman just to make a sale, customer would cancel, and get charged $200 for a reimbursement fee, AKA “Cancellation Fee”. Techs never have chemicals to actually do their jobs. Management is horrible with communication with important things. Management over communicates when it comes to getting the job done, no matter what situation comes up. Understaffed with crazy workloads when it’s busy. No opportunity to advance in this company. Company is going through “restructuring”, more than half of management is losing their jobs.

Thank you for your review. Regarding the concern about long hours, we prepare and support our employees for bustling days, especially during our busy season. We do also understand that work/life balance is important and we are focusing on how to better promote that throughout the company. Here at Aptive Environmental, we're committed to continuously improving so that we can be the best place to work so we appreciate the feedback.

Pros

Good experience to go out and learn life isn't easy and test your inner drive and strength. This can be done with much more fair companies though.....so not really a pro.

Cons

I WASNT THE EMPLOYEE, IM THE DAD THAT HAD TO PAY THEIR WAY HOME AND THEIR RENTS AND BILLS AND THEN WATCH THEM NOT GET PAID FOR THEIR SALES. First off, they exploit young inexperienced adults for fun. Show you big paychecks, parties with bugatis and ferraris and teslas, They will tell you they'll make sure you succeed and will help you do it. Then they get you out halfway across the country and get tossed to the wolves with almost zero support. Managers aren't helping you succeed, they just sell their own accounts. First. you can't 1099 somebody then give them a strict schedule that is up to 65 hours a week, or a schedule at all. A 1099 contractor can work whenever they want to work. Then, if you don't do what they try to illegally make you do, you are hazed, bullied, etc. Then you leave. Then they sue you for rent on an apartment that they rent out. THEN YOU DON'T GET PAID ALL YOUR COMMISSIONS!! You are manipulated into signing agreements, given little if any support, and kicked to the curb and sued. I have been investigating, and this is the story of thousands of people. There are much better companies to sell for. Much better. RUN.
