Aruza Pest Control

What is the best part of working at the company?
In my time at Aruza, I learned so many valuable lessons. How to sell, how to lead, how to overcome adversity, and how to celebrate the wins of others. This job catapulted me into successful roles and important circles, and bent the ears of hiring managers once they realized there are a select few willing to do the hard thing. 
YOU own the sales cycle 
YOU control your output
YOU control your destiny

I loved the company, immediate managment was amazing, branch manager was one of the coolest people I have ever met and he made me love working under him! The jobs were good and plentiful and the customers were even better! Now the cons for me. The only negative thing I will say is that, they will take anyone on to work there which is a good thing, but there are those people who are looking for something easy and they end up screwing up and cant follow basics rules. Then people start abusing clocking in and out, overtime, ect. Then it kills it for everyone else and hours get cut and overtime for jobs that need it are now not given. 98 percent of the techs I worked with were amazing. Only a select few screwed everyone over. Last thing I will say is about corporate management. When I was there I loved everyone that worked at corporate and had a good relationship with them. But, some of them abused their power for personal gain and it was unfortuanate. 

Aruza Pest Control makes it seem like they’re a new and trustworthy company. As a technician it was not uncommon for them to schedule 10 hours of houses and not account for the 2+ hours of driving daily. If you did manage to get done early you’d always get a call or text about how you couldn’t have possibly done a good job or that you need to slow down. On days that you didn’t finish your 20 houses you would get reprimanded and asked why you weren’t able to finish. All houses have a minimum of 20 mins to service, but they only allow 30 mins if you want to stay on schedule. On each paycheck you have to call and explain to them how they didn’t give you your full salary amount. I’d personally keep up with all the money the company owed me to make sure that when I left I’d get the money I worked for. When you leave they try and strip away any bonuses so that they don’t have to pay more. 

the work is hard, but nothing is harder than keeping your hours, because are you seriously telling me you worked 60 hours with 20 hours overtime? nahh im gonna have to cut your hours cause we dont pay people that much. not only do you have to check your hours being cut, but they make you drive 2-3 hours to a job site for the week to help another branch, you have to make that drive every morning & night & you better be okay with being rushed to finish work, having the seller breathe down your neck with a manager saying oh thats all? you should get it done today. not to mention doing work without PPE, yeah thats right they have to start in the field with nothing, you have to ask your co workers to borrow their stuff. no new PPE. last but not least dont let them lie to you about production pay/bonus. also go below speed limit, camera looking right at you & it yaps when you do anything. this company bends people over just to stick their finger in

Being at Aruza is a game changer, you spend the day at work around friends who push & help each other. You begin to learn new things and face challenges you thought you weren’t able to overcome but conquer the challenges & grow internally and externally. Meeting the team leaders felt like a mirror, they inform you  that they have been in the same shoes as you & lead/guide you into the right direction. Being able to communicate & bond with the people around you is something you could never replace, it brings a sense of peace, in most cases the ideas that are shared resonate. The hardest part about the job is how you come in & if you’re willing to finish the summer with the amount of courage you had coming in into leaving the summer with growth & building the courage 10x. I enjoyed my first summer at Aruza due to being around people who I thought I’d never meet and sharing ideas & growing as one & whole.

This company has a very high turnover ratio. It’s owner is a young guy who’s ambition is bigger than his brains. They work their employees 10-15 hrs a day, 6 days a week. The Charlotte branch has had 3 managers in 3 years time. The pay is great, but as a technician, you will only see your family one day a week. They constantly run out of product for customer  services - they don’t utilize talent correctly here and the customer service reps ( who are treated better than the technicians ) don’t know a thing about pest control . They make false promises they never keep , in order to keep you on board and all the technicians are miserable. Once they’ve managed to burn you out, they replace you. You also get exposed to things like black mold in their back spray tanks ( if you get one that works ) , & they do not winterize or prepare their fleet during winter months. In 4 months I saw 6 people leave this company.

Working for Aruza was one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had. They pay was decent and that is one of the only things I enjoyed. The management did not communicate well with the employees and often hard to get ahold of at all. They took a few fees out of paychecks that I had no problem with, but when I asked what they were for they would avoid the question. They continually messed up on my paystub, forcing me to go out of my way to ask and receive the full amount. I was told it was a 5 and a half day work week with Saturday being a half day, however this was not true. I worked 10-12 hour days Monday through Saturday. There was also numerous times when we were told to lie to customers and not complete full services. Overall, I was unpleased with my time there and I would not recommend anyone else to work there.

I’ve seen a lot of people come in and out through this company. This job offers a lot of opportunities and room for growth and bonuses. Of course during the summer it will be a little hard because of constant new customer base being added on through summer sales but that’s how you know a company is doing something well.  Of course being a new company there will be small issues here and there but they are not big enough to be a major problem. I have done well here because I am a hard worker and understood the job I was getting into when signing up. If you are a hardworking individual you will thrive in this company being surrounded by others just like you. I would highly recommend this job because of the room for growth in this booming pest control company.

Aruza Pest Control is a textbook example of how poor leadership can ruin a company.

Sales employees are expected to perform miracles without leads, then blamed when those miracles don’t happen. Upper management is disconnected from reality, unwilling to accept responsibility, and quick to apply pressure instead of solutions.

There is a constant cycle of unrealistic expectations, empty promises, and fear-based management. Feedback from the field is ignored, while corporate leadership looks for scapegoats instead of fixing systemic issues.

If you’re driven, competent, and value your mental health, I’d suggest looking elsewhere. This company doesn’t deserve good employees until leadership changes.

I worked as a sales intern for Aruza and enjoyed my experience. The pay and commission was fair and competitive. The work environment was hardworking but also relaxed at times. The owners are incredibly dedicated and have a vision of becoming a national brand, which I think they will achieve. I learned skills in sales, communication, organization, and even customer service. If you are not dedicated to providing a wonderful customer experience then Aruza is not a good place for you to work. But if you want to be apart of something special with an immense amount of growth to come, then I would recommend joining Aruza's team.
