Angi reviews

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...

I had three positions within the company (mainly took another job to get away from my awful manager) and worked for an even worse manager. I didn't think that was possible. It is all politics and all a big party at Angie's List. The service providers are not valued, the members are not valued, and the employees are definitely not valued. My family and friends were absolutely horrified at the stories I would tell. I never saw anyone in upper management actually manage. Sales is lucrative but the stress is no way to live. The stress doesn't come from the actual sale..it comes from having no leadership and the leadership you do have, will turn on you when it suits them. Any other position outside of sales is low paying and very boring work.
