Pros

- Company is constantly striving to be better - I have brought many concerns to the very top of management, and have seen many of my ideas implemented on a company-wide level even as a newer employee - Strong focus on work/life balance; no nights, no weekends - Uncapped commission, the money is very real - You get out what you put in; the harder you work, if you follow the process, the more you will earn - I have felt very valued during my tenure here - Massive opportunities for growth; the Leadership Development Program is the finest one I've seen in the corporate world - Benefits range from fine to stellar. The medical coverage is excellent, the 401k match (3%) is fine. I can cover myself and my spouse for medical, dental, life, disability, vision, etc. for less than I spend on coffee every month. - Truly remote work, and many efforts to emphasize work culture, inclusion, and diversity (many ERGs for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, women, etc.) - New CEO is focused, driven, and passionate, and has made some excellent changes. - Angi Ads division specifically has become a home to me, and I've watched it change lives. - Hires sales reps even outside of traditional sales backgrounds, so anyone can have a shot at life-changing careers.

Cons

- You get out what you put in...and many are not willing to put in the work to get out what they need, then blame the company for their own earning failure. - We could use more women in management, especially upper management. - Many departments are understaffed, leading to backups in a swift sales process. - Past CEO was a yikes. - Churn/Retention can be absurdly high for new people, but this is partially because we DO hire from nontraditional sales backgrounds, taking a chance on all sorts of people.

You’re Cattle To Them

Pros

The only genuine pros I can give is you will meet a few cool people, and if you’re fortunate you’ll get the thrill of closing a few sales.

Cons

The training and recruitment process is highly deceptive. You’ll be given an absolute lie of an estimate that the average sales person makes 70k. This is simply not true.. The average pay is low 30K. They are referring to the “mean” pay of successful people who are tenured a year or more. The average person will not make it past the first 3 months, therefore their pace will be in the early 30,000s. On top of that.. this is not real sales. It is telemarketing. And it’s highly manipulative and pushy telemarketing at that. The training is led by mostly recently graduate college students who don’t understand a mature sales process. I can’t speak for every team leader but I’d say chances are they were great at telemarketing but aren’t great at leading a team/teaching. If you succeed you’re among the 20% of people who won’t get laid off after 3 months. Congratulations you’re doing well in a dead end, miserable job. If you’re an outlier you can make a career with Angi, including moving up. Do you want to though? Tough to approve of.

Pros

Really bad techno at least twice a day. You get twice (at least) daily hype sessions with mandatory fun. You might win a t-shirt. You can use an avatar in the mandatory all-day Zooms. That way no one can see how disappointed you are. So there's that.

Cons

There's not much to like here, and you might be participating in fraud. It's not a salaried position; you are an hourly employee and they take FULL advantage of that. About 5%-8% of all reps make any real money, everyone else is in and out the revolving door. You will be told that is your fault. The 'leads' are absolute trash but don't mention that to management or you'll be met with a chorus of BS about grinding, effort, and excuses. Then you will be forced to watch a motivational video from an internet celebrity in lieu of actual managing. They feed high-value leads to a small group of reps, lie about that, and then parade that success in front of everyone. It's all about making money for Angi. The commission structure is perfect...for Angi. You have to sell an absurd amount to see a dime. Even more to make a respectable commission. I've never worked somewhere that cared less about character or ethics. You'll learn how to manipulate vulnerable people into spending the last of their money, and con businesses with bogus statistics and maps. The leads side is the subject of an FTC complaint and a class-action lawsuit. The ad side is fraudulent as well, and can't be far behind.
