Pros
flexible schedule to interview at other companies while working for Angie's List.
Cons
They hire 22 new ad sales reps at a time. They hype in sales training that it is a six figure job constantly and that the average rep made 91k last year. What they don't tell you about those stats is what you will find out very quickly once you are on the sales floor and the veterian ad sales reps will let you know that those stats are on another commission plan and everything has changed since then. The real numbers are it's about a 40-50k job, preferrably a first stop for a recent grad and turnover is extremely high. Management tells you that you can build up a residual check, but on a 16% commission plan spread out over 12 months it equals out to about $20-$30 a deal it is not realistic to say. Your residual check will be a couple hundred bucks if you are lucky. I would say 40% of the veteran sales reps are looking for work elsewhere and new employees are so pissed off once they figure out they were straight lied to, if they are smart will look for jobs elsewhere too. In fact, with the flexible schedule, I am interviewing at a different company this morning. You are just killing time if you choose to work for Angie's List. The hay days of making money in sales at Angie's List is long over...
