Job Description
Company description:
Aptive Environmental provides pest control services in 34 states across the U.S. Co-founded in 2015 by Vess Pearson and David Royce, Aptive launched with the clear intention of becoming a world-recognized brand. Aptive offers leading-edge, environmentally responsible pest control services and has been dubbed “the Google of the pest control industry.”
The founders previously sold their first company in 2011 for $30 million and their second in 2016 for $135 million before forming Aptive. In only three years, Aptive became the fastest-growing service company—and pest control company—in the nation. It is the youngest company on the 2019 Top 100 Companies to Work For list, ranking three spots behind Apple and just ahead of Goldman Sachs.
In 2019, Aptive was the nation’s seventh-largest pest control company. After adding more accounts in 2018 than the next five companies combined, it was on track to become the fourth-largest pest control company in 2021. Aptive has an incredible culture for students to be a part of, learn from, and grow in. The company helps people succeed as professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders.
Additionally, Aptive is highly service-oriented. We are a proud member of the EPA’s Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program and have partnered with the United Nations Foundation’s United to Beat Malaria campaign to help stop the spread of malaria transmitted by mosquito bites.
