Pros

Why I LOVE working at Houzz: 1. Couldn't ask for a better company culture, working at Houzz is honestly like working with a group of your best friends. 2. I come to work every day excited to teach professionals about how amazing Houzz is. 3. It is honestly so rewarding when a professional reaches back out to you after a few months signing the praises of Houzz and all that the website has done for their company. 4. High paced, high energy environment, nothing boring about my day 5. Incredible opportunities for growth & management loves to promote from within, such a great place to begin a career 6. Work hard, play harder! You get rewarded for all your hard work. I'm not going to lie, when you work here, you REALLY WORK, there's no slacking off or skating by, but management really appreciates all of the hard work you put in & they let you know that they appreciate you. This job is not for everyone, it definitely takes a specific person to fit in and thrive in this environment, but when you truly believe in a product and what a company stands for, you want to work as hard as you can especially for a company that treats you so well.

Cons

No complaints! This is my dream job and I feel so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to get in to this thriving company early!

Pros

Coworkers are super cool and great to work with. Role is remote.

Cons

Fake, cheesy culture and micromanagement with monotonous internal meetings. AE company meetings feel like a time waste with redundant material coverage and group activity work. Managers will message you if you go 10-15 minutes without making a call. It feels like you're working in a demoralizing call center. Tech stack and CRM are disconnected, outdated, and constantly glitch, preventing productivity and conversation tracking. Reporting is also archaic and not customizable. You're working ~9 hour days with below average pay, and will be encouraged to work Saturdays and be a "weekend warrior!” You are expected to make 600+ cold calls weekly and average 2 hours of talk time daily. If you have PTO planned, managers will ask that you raise your call and talk time volume to compensate for your time off. The calls you're making are from a list of old leads that are either no longer in business, have a terrible past experience with Houzz (please do your research on Houzz - they have ripped off many businesses and provide subpar customer service), rarely show up for your meetings, or have zero budget and "owe money to the IRS." Outreach doesn't feel strategic. From those leads, you're expected to hold ~3 demos daily. This is not a sustainable place for a career, and frankly a waste of your time.
