A company with lots of potential, and a very high opinion of its self. Terrible training. - Service Technician Aptive Environmental Employee Review

Pros

Fair wages, potential to get certified and start a trade, company truck. It seems if you get through training period, and teach yourself how to do the job, you can call your own shots and have a good career

Cons

Training, and the communication with "management" is absolute garbage. They ride the line on illegal activity such as telling people to "clock out for smoke breaks" and to "do mandatory training at home off of the clock". They seem to push some techs to breaking while "just chilling" with others. Have ran into multiple lies and misrepresentations after only a couple of weeks. unlicensed barely trained "techs" training new hires. People with no business handling chemicals spraying near bees. VERY ambiguous with "how you should do it" every tech has a different view of the laws/rules and how to follow them. Rude management. Unclear expectations.

Aptive has made a great investment improving training around the country and as a company we feel like it is paying off. Your comments regarding being told to do mandatory training off the clock is something that is against company policy and should reported to our HR department.

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.
