Pros

You can unknowingly set up dozens to hundred of accounts for Dave Royce free of payment.

Cons

This company will promise you the world and deliver about 1/3 of what you might expect. They have the tendency to use deceptive statistics to sign reps. Their database reflects different numbers than that of reality. Their metrics are only based off of the 7-8 hundred of people that "finish" the summer dates but account for the entirety of the sales force 2000+ sales representatives. They make you sign a non-compete for 36 months so if you have any plans to sell ANYTHING for the subsequent 3 years after Aptive they will sue you. If you are a manager and decide that Aptive is the wrong fit for you they will keep all of your reps and be continually recruiting out from underneath you. They go behind anyone's back who even hints at the idea of not continuing to sell for them to make things as difficult as possible. They have a bucket system that if you fall beneath you will not collect any commission from (20%+) of all your accounts. Those that do not resign for the following summer will have extremely coincidental metrics move i.e. Easy Pay %age will fall below the 75%+ requirement and they will be subject to pay $20.00 per account for all accounts sold in other words it will be a $2000.00 deduction for every 100 accounts sold. The owner seems to only act in behalf of his own self interest. You will not be paid as they advertise, their per rep averages are lies base off of the total number of accounts sold distributed among those that finish the summer instead of the actual number of reps working and selling those accounts.

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.
