Housecall Pro reviews

MICROMANAGING. This company brings up a lot of false hope if you are looking to move up within the company. They manipulate and take advantage of their employees by taking on the "temporary assignments" ( taking on another position without a pay raise). They especially isolate and treat you differently when you express interest in changing teams or roles within the company. Its unfortunate how much this company has changed from the time I started... I do not recommend working here if you are looking to stay and grow within a company.

No work /life balance, overtime is often mandatory, Saturday work is required at least once a month. When it comes to the sales team, the big elephant in the room is the outsourced SDR team in Mexico that is not paid a living wage, but rather work on 100% commission for attended demos. As you can imagine the quality of demos is often bad. Sales reps are required to run these demos with very few exceptions, which impacts your earning potential. Executive management at Housecall Pro think their exploitation of the labor force in Mexico is a genius idea, cheap labor is exactly what every start up needs! They boast about the call center reps doing 300 calls a day. Often prospects will share that they felt badgered into the demo and they took it just to stop the phone calls. While the concept of having someone else do the cold calling and get the demo seems great on the surface, ask yourself how much time you're willing to waste on demos you would have never scheduled. Time is money, which brings me to the other con: limited earning potential. Unless you work 50 hours a week to get the overtime pay which combined with commission might get you to $78K. You will work hard for that money, while management never once steps in to run a demo when things are busy. They love to tell you stories of the days they were in your shoes.
