Pros

Work from home but very micromanaged and watched over

Cons

If you are considering working here and reading reviews, I’d highly recommend focusing on the negative ones. There are many puppets on the sales team here that have no morals, and have sold their souls for a paycheck by lying and scamming hard-working, honest blue-collar contractors. I worked here for over a year and did well until I couldn’t handle the BS anymore and the pressure that was put on me to lie to people. You could be calling a contractor in the middle of Wyoming and can see in the system that there is no work in the area, yet you are expected to tell them there are homeowners waiting to hire once the contractor gives us their credit card information to sign up. Your managers will do anything for a sale, including signing a contractor up for work they don’t do, or don’t agree to do. You will also sign up contractors in a state where they might not be licensed to do certain work, but your manager will have you sign them up in a neighboring state that they don’t agree to work in and could be an hour+ away, all because that state doesn’t require a license for that work. You will sign contractors up that will spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on leads based on lies and never land a job. You are expected to tell contractors that we only send the leads to 2-3 other contractors even though it can be much more. I don’t believe the system limits how many people in the area get the lead. I have firsthand experience from hearing contractors tell me that they arrived at an estimate and there were 4 other contractors there to bid. Worst of all, my cousin used the product and told me she had the same issue. The progressive pay scale incentivizes managers and sales reps to practice shady tactics because the pay can get very high after you reach a certain benchmark. Only way to fix this is to bump up the base salary to a reasonable amount and lower the commission pay significantly. This is a garbage product and company and the only reason they bet any positive reviews is because of how much money they pay for sales and the only reason they do is because they steal from contractors to support the pay. It’s like the goal is to sign everyone up so we can drain as much money from their bank account/credit card before they inevitably cancel.

Pros

After almost five years with Angi, I can honestly say I'm grateful every day that I get to put on my Angi jersey and be part of this incredible company. Recruiting isn't just my job—it's something I'm truly passionate about, and I love helping talented people find opportunities where they can grow and succeed. What makes Angi special isn't just the work we do; it's the people. I've been fortunate to work under outstanding leadership and have the best manager I could ask for. Their support, encouragement, and investment in my growth have played a huge role in my career, and I'm thankful for it every day. One of my favorite traditions is that every work anniversary, I receive a handwritten note from our leadership along with a small gift. It's a simple gesture, but it speaks volumes about the culture here. Those personal touches make employees feel valued, appreciated, and recognized—not just for what they do, but for who they are. Angi has given me opportunities to grow professionally while surrounding me with leaders who genuinely care about their people. I'm proud to be part of this team and excited about the future we're building together. If you're looking for a place where you can make an impact, continue growing, and be supported by exceptional leadership, I can't recommend Angi enough.

Cons

Angi is the best company- I cannot think of any cons.

Pros

It’s work from home. Two 15 minute breaks and an hour lunch.

Cons

They are a very dishonest company. The hype up the job but in reality what you’ll be doing is spending all day calling random numbers in which about 95% of those people either won’t answer the phone or if they do, you will be hung up on within like two seconds. Not to mention the Angie reputation is so bad. It’s actually notoriously bad that even if you are able to get someone on the phone for more than a couple of minutes they’ll still end up hanging up just because of how bad Angie is. In my opinion Angie is a dishonest company selling a dishonest service because most of the leads they sell are fake and most of the leads they give their employees to call are also fake and if you don’t make these outrageous sales numbers you’re fired it’s a reason why the employee benefits don’t kick in until three months in because they know 95% of the people they hire won’t still be working there in three months because they will not hit the sales quotas. The only good thing about this job is its work from home really. And the hot leads they say they have 95% are fake or just someone who looked at a spam email. It’s actually comical how deceptive this company is.
