Pros

You get a working Mac computer while employed with Housecall Pro and if you need it they will provide a standing desk and chair.

Cons

I thought HCP was going to be an amazing fit for me. I learned fast and my work reflected stats of 100% customer satisfaction. I was given many extra projects and responsibility and handled them with grace and proficiency. I was offered a better position with better pay within the company and I accepted and moved teams. The manager of that team was over-worked and burnt out. This caused her to be absent from helping out the team, and when you had issues you weren't met with help but with bullying and insults. I reached out to upper management and HR about changing teams but they wouldn't let me until I had been in the current position for 6 months. I continued gaining great stats and helping out my team members until I needed to take a Leave Of Absence for medical concerns. I got the time approved through HR, my managers, and through the companies health insurance provider. I was approved for a month of medical leave with pay. The day I came back from medical leave a meeting with HR was scheduled to inform me of my termination. I was shocked, I just came back from medical leave, and before that my work performance was 100%. When I asked the reason for letting me go, I was told " We have the right not to disclose why". I tried to press further to get information because it seemed not only unfair to me, but to my short-handed team. They would not give me a why I was being let go and then I was locked out of the systems and blocked from communication with the company and their staff. It get's better, when I applied for unemployment I was denied because HCP claimed I skipped out on work days consecutively in a row, without contacting anyone. This was an absolute untruth and I have all my hours documented and recorded including my time off, sick days, and the leave of absence. I tried to fight it and sent in an appeal but I am awaiting a court date. Overall this experience with Housecall Pro was heartbreaking. They entice you in with the idea that this is a family and we all take care of one another, but in all honesty most are over-worked and not recognized. I was also shocked when that no action was taken when I informed HR and upper management of my managers bullying. The only action that was taken was informing the manager that I had said something, which made her attack me more and ultimately get me unfairly fired. I think a lot of what they did to me wasn't fully legal.

From our People team, given the topic: We are continually working to improve and create a culture of transparency and a safe space for feedback.

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.

We're sorry aspects of your experience haven't reflected what we strive for, particularly around compensation and direction consistency. How pay aligns with expectations and how strategic shifts are communicated are concerns we want to understand better. We'd love to hear more; please reach out to your manager, the People Team, or any senior leader you're comfortable speaking with. -Housecall Pro People Team
