Pros

The people that work here are the only pro, but with the recent turnover, I doubt that lasts much longer

Cons

I sincerely feel bad for our advertisers 1. So many situations where they are lied to by our sales department and nothing will be done. 2. Other instances where they sold by a Spanish speaking sales rep, then get to a CSM that only speaks English and cannot be transferred to anyone else and we are told to tell them "our website is English speaking" and we have "English speaking members" so basically, figure it out. 3. Our books went from being around 200 customers to almost 500 overnight and we cannot keep up. Service Pros are getting terrible customer service because of that. 4. All of our leads are going to Home Advisor companies because than can make 4x as much over there than on Angie's list. Which leaves our customers with no leads and/or the scraps and they are a paying a monthly rate for them. Genius business plan because they are locked into a 12 month contract. That makes for terrible conversations and past due accounts. 5. Our job went from truly helping clients on a day to day basis which was rewarding to making collections calls 90% of our day. And if you don't make your 40+ collections calls everyday, you are WRITTEN UP. Hows that for hanging over your head. A potential write up EVERY SINGLE DAY. Many instances where I had an inbox full of customers to get back to but instead had to waste my time calling the same clients daily to let them know they are past due. So instead of trying to help happy clients, you are focusing all your time on clients that are pissed off and not paying. Its a legit catch 22. 6. We have had 20 people quit since Jan 1. We keep asking how many people need to quit for something to be done. The answer is "they are not concerned". 7. They lowered our base pay from 45k to 30k a couple weeks ago. Thats $1250 less per month overnight. The same week they lowered our pay they had a meeting telling us how Angie's list is HIGHLY profitable for the first time and that WE were responsible for that! The nerve.... 8. I truly hope something gets done. I have put so much time and effort into Angie's list over the years and have loved coming to work. The employees here are top notch and truly care about their career here. The last 6 months to a year have been the worst experience of my life. My mental health has suffered because of it. I am not the only one as others on our team have gone on FMLA because how bad the conversations and stress of the job have been.

Pros

• Co-workers • Casual dress code • Fresh, filtered water (if you fill your bottle before it runs out around 2pm each day) • You get to be yelled at by your clients all day, every day • You get to maybe have your lunch stolen from the public fridges • You get exercise when the fire alarm goes off falsely every other month • You get the privilege of having the President of AL talk down to you and man-splaining things to you at a once-a-year meeting, where they give you a glass of champagne to celebrate your recent pay cut! 🥂

Cons

• Pretty much everything -- but, specifically: • NONcompetitive salary • call center-style workload • unattainable goals / bonuses • no career advancement opportunities • no continuing education or training • consultative, sales role turned into past due collector • no autonomy • product doesn't work • constant technical issues both internal & external • incredibly 'reactive' business approach • manipulative & deceiving business practices • terrible communication between internal departments, management & clients • feel like 2nd class employees to sister company employees at HomeAdvisor • TO BE FAIR, I've worked in the account management/client success department at Angie's List for 6+ years; and the majority of that time, it was a great environment and place to be. The work was tough, but the comp plan made it worth the tough conversations and long days. **Currently, though, I've never felt more underappreciated, overworked, underpaid, and de-valued.** It's an absolute terrible place to be right now. Please (PLEASE), heed this warning, whether you're considering a job in sales or client success at AL and look elsewhere. I heard ChikFilA offers nice benefits, competitive pay, productive training and an encouraging, supportive management system!

Pros

No nights, weekends or holidays. Other than that, there aren’t any.

Cons

$15k pay cut with 11 days notice. You’re opinion and feedback has no value, which is made very clear. Failing product that comes with unrealistic goals and managing clients that were misinformed. Double the amount of accounts per rep in the past four months, greatly contributed to high turnover and horrible sr level management decisions. Last month not one person on our 13 person team hit goal, on top of this only 1 person was over 90% to goal. Prior to four months ago, there has not been one team in department history to achieve this great level of failure that is now the norm. If you are ok with failure and no control over your success, along with a $30k per year salary, this is a great role for you. Anyone else, run and hide but never look back. If you are someone that has failed at many other sales roles, I’m talking six months and fired multiple times, this would be a great role to you as complacency and luck seem to be the best attributes to define a top performer in this role. But wait, there’s more! Now that we are being compensated 33% less, we are wearing more hats. Collections rep, we are required to make these calls everyday which is about 30 per rep on average. Remember above I referenced account size doubling, obviously that’s twice the workload than before. This eliminates any rapport you used to build, instead condense all calls to the minimum and only be reactive with your accounts. No proactive work to assist clients. No kpi’s to even try to improve yourself to make yourself and the company more money. The environment is just negative, I’ve never experienced anything like it i my life. All around, it’s just disheartening and depressing. It’s like living in Seattle.
