Pros

Flexible work hours if your manager allows. Dress code - jeans On site diner Great parties on campus

Cons

The outer appearance looks great. Angie's list promotes Sales Reps to Manager whom are just sick of making sales themselves and want to be "in charge". These managers don't have proper training and switch Rep Markets on a monthly basis so it's hard to get traction in the markets to make good sales. Angie's list started hiring warm bodies to say they had 1000 employees at any given time but these employees would be fired for sales performances just as quickly as they were hired in meaning those employees would burn markets and burn possible relationships with accounts to advertise. There are way to many departments from Angie's list calling in on these accounts to sell front page advertising or coupon advertising. Once you hit 100% on a regular basis you finally get good markets which are just as burned through. Also Angie's list slashes their prices in half at the end of the month to hit goal which just devalues the product.

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
