Angi Employee Reviews about "benefit"

Pros

Open work environment; executive team is very accessible; maintains a lot of the fun tech benefits; strong company culture

Cons

Tough to attract & retain developer talent in the midwest. Salaries don't compare to what silicon valley can offer, even though cost of living in Indiana is drastically lower.

Pros

Angie's List has great, caring, smart and intelligent people. The company culture (at least from a co-worker camaraderie standpoint) is great. People work hard, are dedicated, have a sense of humor and really foster a team spirit. That is vital to the success of any company to get the best employee engagement. The campus is in a really neat, somewhat historic area of Indianapolis. There is an onsite fitness center, an old fashioned diner and a cafe (albeit a little pricey). The compensation is very competitive. The benefits are average with the exception of an additional 5 days of PTO starting than the traditional 15.

Cons

Angie's List is almost the ideal place to work but they have one flaw that is pretty much killing all of the good points of the company. The business management side of the company (probably unbeknownst to them) is doing anything and everything to destroy employee morale. They will just keep sending in an infinite amount of requests to be working, put arbitrary deadlines on them and the requests will usually only have about one sentence from which the engineers are required to glean what they're supposed to do from that using clairvoyance that apparently is an employee requirement. This has created an adervsarial relationship between the business management and the engineering team. There is very low trust, respect and consideration going both ways and that's a BIG problem. In order for companies to be successful that incessantly bickering, complaining and arguing all the time needs to be turned into collaboration. We need to all remember that we are ALL supposed to work together not just in our little cliques to serve the customers and the shareholders as ONE team.

Pros

Flexible schedule, on-site sales training, you can wear gym clothes or pajamas to work if you choose, free access to gym and personal trainer, a lot of great people to work with in various departments. Benefits are average (except the 401k plan which is generous once you're eligible).

Cons

Where to begin...when I started in account management, the company truly valued the hard work it's employees put in. Your effort was recognized and merit-based performance often led to promotions if you consistently exceeded your monthly goals. Yes - you USED to be able to make good money here, but now...it has become a matter of who your manager is and where your markets are that determine your financial success and longevity at this company. The office conditions in many buildings on campus are very bad...some bordering on dangerous. There are two buildings on campus that I worked in were many co-workers all complained of sinus and breathing issues. You're sitting in dilapidated, stained chairs (usually broken) and your desk might be a door on it's side. The "cubicle" walls aren't even attached. Turnover is extremely high so be prepared for that. Unfortunately, I've seen so many quality employees get fired or leave the company altogether because they had a bad month or two or they were just miserable from the stress and working conditions. For someone straight out of college, it is possible to do well here, but it definitely can be an uphill battle. Some managers definitely play favorites and promotions are often more based on who you know versus merit. Many accounts will tell you how frustrated they are by constantly getting a new account manager or rep every couple of months. Therefore this can tend to lead to a lack of confidence from the customers' perspective in both the product (advertising) and the company. Overall - this is a place to get a job - a stepping stone if you can hack it...but I wouldn't recommend a career here - at least not in sales.

Pros

Angie's list provides a lot of opportunity to grow and move within the organization. The earning potential is high and there are many nice benefits including a relaxed dress code.

Cons

The running joke at Angie's list is "hope you like change." Change is inevitable for any organization that has grown as quickly as Angie's list. However, change is communicated poorly and decisions are perceived as shoot, aim, fire. Business decisions felt like they were made poorly or not thought through at all which led to frontline employees grasping for answers to provide customers.

Pros

Angi offers a flexible working environment which creates a great work life balance. The benefits offered are out of this world and aren't just your standard bare minimum benefits. You can tell they take time to think what benefits are best for our employees and provide them. The culture is super fun and you feel included and close to your coworkers despite being remote. There is no micromanaging which makes for a positive working environment. Overall, super happy working for Angi!

Cons

No cons at this time.

Pros

I've been at the company for in total, close to 10 years. I boomeranged back after leaving the company for a short time (2 years). I genuinely enjoy the people I work with, the challenge of my position, and the opportunities to grow. The benefits are outstanding and I enjoy the work from home/option to go in as well.

Cons

The pay is low in customer facing areas of the company and I feel that in large part, the customer experience was ignored for quite a few years. That's changed recently and I look forward to seeing the results.

Pros

The managers and coworkers are nice. A little aggressive but nice overall.

Cons

I read glassdoor reviews before entering this job, and because I was desperate I just ignored them. I made over $50,000 for the company due to my sales in 3 months with them. I got the fast start bonus, a measly $500, for making 6 sales within 6 weeks. Despite this, I was still let go because you are expected to perform at an extremely high level. Very little training that is wildly inaccurate to the functions of the role. They have two training groups of 30+ individuals every two weeks, and less than 90% make it through the 3 month training period. They cut off the 'training period' right before you receive benefits and unemployment (definitely intentional). They are scam artists making a living off of unemployed people and naive contractors. I am only grateful that it allowed some experience on my resume that got me a much better and more reputable job. Hard work will NOT pay off here. I'm not saying don't take the job if you really need it, but understand you are a number and a money-making machine to them. Good luck!

Pros

They have great benefits but do not pay their leaders well unless you are in sales. The Indy location still feels like a family thanks to the culture Angie 's List formed.

Cons

The new CEO is horrible! He came from a company that was horrible and now we are in cahoots with them. Not sure why they would allow a CEO of a failing business run theirs???

Pros

There are tons of fun people to work with and the benefits are what lead me there.

Cons

Learn exactly what it take to get paid there. Lots of reasons why your sale will not "count". This is a tech company going for data. The sales are just a biproduct.

Pros

There is an awesome culture and tons of activities that the whole company participates in! They have amazing benefits and really work hard to incorporate the best of the best into the business!

Cons

About the only con that I can come up with is that the free vending machines only have pepsi and not coke products! But hey it's countered with the free La Croix!
