Aptive Environmental reviews

Grueling work in all and any weather, Nepotism runs rampant, and they don't care at all about their customer base. The reps are encouraged to lie to make the sale. The pesticides used are over diluted for longevity, and sales reps will say they kill chipmunks and even squirrels, even though they do not have a wildlife license. They've lost their BBB accreditation due to shady customer practices. The sales force works as a pyramid scheme, taking young kids, using them to lie to make sales, and the top rep gets commission off of every sale that kid makes. These kids end up going home early half the time because they can't afford the rent that Aptive takes from their checks for the luxury apartments they put them in, and if you suck at sales, you can't afford to stay and continue to sell for them. This place is managed by the MLM capital of the universe, and they will work you to death and give you a 12 cent raise every year. Joke of a company.

In my opinion, the pay isn’t really good. I’ve talked about taking certifications and I get no response back. Everything we have to do when it come to hot, cold, and rainy weather doesn’t feel like it’s measured right with the pay. Also with customers. I’ve had my life threatened, on multiple occasions, by customers with firearms and blunt objects. I just feel like I’m stuck in limbo with this job.
