Pros

great people, good software, fun and energetic environment, ok pay, ok training, good location, no micro-managing which is great. Management tries to care about you.

Cons

They hire for "Enrollment Specialist" which is for "inbound sales" and cold calling is what the position really is. They try to say "arctic ops" but they need to just call it what it is. The company is still new so its very unorganized. Growing pains are normal for a start up but Management is not as "transparent" as they advertise.

Housecall Pro Response

We really appreciate you taking the time to respond and obviously we appreciate the kind things you have to say about our environment, product and people. To the critical feedback you provided 1) start-ups are dynamic; the only constant is change and that is even more true at Housecall because we run fast, we're willing to take calculated risk on shipping fast and learning vs analyzing an idea to death. That means we won't be a fit for everyone but it is certainly our responsibility to be transparent. I own that and will make sure we're always being as clear as we can with the information we have at that time. 2) My job, specifically, is to add a bit more process to Housecall so that we can continue to scale. We have a great foundation, but given how fast we are growing, some guardrails will help. It's a fine line b/c the culture is, as outlined, one where we run fast, ship and learn. My goal is to keep that in place but to make sure that we are all set up for success. We are also adding in a layer of management for the first time, and we have a servant based mindset on that front. Team leads and managers are here to serve their teams, to provide support, to help with any roadblocks that pop-up, and to enable better decisions with data. The teams own the goal setting, decision making and accountability. Teams win and we've moved quickly to embrace that concept across the org. Let me know if you have any further thoughts for me. Thank you again for your input.

Pros

Great people below executive level that want to do their best work. Full remote work. Working with customers that actually make a difference in the world.

Cons

Hustle culture without the hustle pay. Way below market salary but executives expect top company output. Fear based. Executives pivot every week, if not multiple times a day and it creates immense thrash. CTO is completely disconnected from day to day work, talks in abstract most of the time, and when they do mention something about actual work, it's completely disconnected from the reality of people doing the work. Top talent has been steadily leaving the company. Process is whatever the executives decide that week. The current product is mediocre at best and most attempts from talented people to make it better either are ignored or when agreed upon, the rug gets pulled out from underneath a couple months later when the executives get cold feet. If you want to work at a company and make a difference, this is not the place to do it. Promotions and pay increases are non-existent unless you work 14+ hour days, amplify whatever the current executive flavor of the week is, and put your head down and just execute on someone else's poorly planned ideas. Everyone is pretty miserable currently and most people are only still there because the current job market is not great.
