Angi Employee Reviews about "management"

Pros

- There are some GREAT people and the company doesn't have a lot of hierarchy so it's likely that you will get to work with a lot of them. - The environment is very casual. - Work-life balance varies but is generally good. - Free soda machines! - There's a deli down stairs with pretty good, reasonably-priced food. - Pay and benefits were reasonable.

Cons

- The technologies they use are old. They are modernizing but very leisurely. Some projects may never get much of an update, which will make your job seem like a dead end. - There is some really nasty code out there. - Management is open about the fact that they try a lot of different things and see what works. That's fine but I'm not always sure there's a very solid, cohesive vision guiding that.

Pros

Great atmosphere and culture. Upper management is very supportive and enthusiastic about keeping all employees happy with perks and money incentives

Cons

It's a grind day in and day out. If you don't put in the work, you will not succeed. Get ready to call a ton of contractors.

Pros

Relaxed environment, casual, everyone smokes everything

Cons

Management doesn't care if you have a family and tell you they don't matter. I was told I shouldn't be leaving to take a lunch break to go to my sons school for his event. Benefits don't start until 90 days. Training is less than a week. Some managers will close their teams sales and make sure THEY SUCCEED, mine didn't. The music is SO LOUD I couldn't hear the clients. The whole environment just feels unprofessional.

Pros

-Quarterly and Annual Recognition Programs -Opportunities for Advancement -Casual Atmosphere -Good Communication Between Staff and Management (this includes senior team)

Cons

Pay for hourly employees is typically pretty good. The compensation is built on performance and good performance pays well. However, managers on salaries are not paid all that well. They are constantly shifting responsibilities of lower and middle management and compensation is never considered. Also, job descriptions basically do not exist. There is not much organizational structure.

Pros

Great work/life balance. Company always encourages having fun while getting your work done.

Cons

Lack of a clear direction by the company weighs on the employees. Inconsistent messages from middle and upper management make it difficult to know what's going to happen next.

Pros

-Flexible with remote work -Unlimited PTO

Cons

This entire company is built on deception and lies, from the top down... -The product itself is horrible and preys on small businesses. It has a terrible reputation in the home services industry. Ask any small business owner that has worked with Angi or been cold called by them a hundred times and they will tell you the same thing. -Management made the decision to rebrand and launch a new mobile app as the company's main platform within the last couple of years. When the number of app downloads fell short of their projections, they informed us that part of our annual bonus would ONLY be received if the Angi app hit a certain number of downloads. No one agreed to this before it was announced. Management made a miscalculated decision and then decided to punish its own employees for it. There is zero accountability for leadership at this company. -Similarly, management loves to preach about 'career growth' and 'getting you where you want to be,' but as soon as you make a mistake or express a different viewpoint, they will throw you under the bus and cast you out. I saw this happen to multiple hard-working colleagues on several occasions. -Talent acquisition leadership constantly tells its own recruiters/sourcers to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor, to try and drown out the many real (negative) reviews from disgruntled employees. Just look at the amount of recent, short reviews left by current Angi recruiters with zero cons about the company. It is painfully obvious.

Pros

They really do try to make the job the best it can be. Upper management really tries to make this job appealing through commission structure and a fun environment. They treat producers like royalty.

Cons

I’ve done sales for a long time but this is a different animal. %100 cold calling blue collar unorganized contractors sums this job up to the T. It’s like taking a steel rake and scraping it over scorched earth in hopes to find new signs of life. All the leads have been called hundreds of times and everyone you calls knows who Home Advisor is, they’ve all heard the same pitch and value that Home Advisor can bring to their company. Don’t get me wrong. People kill it at Home Advisor and make incredible money. I just couldn’t stick around long enough.

Pros

- talented and smart management team that is constantly assessing the business and keeping us moving towards the right goals - well-documented training and onboarding for new recruits - open and transparent environment for decision-making - big, metric-moving projects waiting to be tackled - supportive and nurturing culture; everyone is down to teach + chat with you - fun company outings, hackathons, and celebrations - typical startup food perks (breakfast, lunch, dinner, insane snack pantry + water/soda options) - competitive salary for NYC - excellent location (can't beat the Madison Square Park area - close to all the train lines) - as a leading marketplace startup in its category, Handy faces a huge range of unique and tough problems. The learning never stops.

Cons

Handy runs very fast-paced and is constantly sourcing feedback from our customers, service professionals, advisors, and internal data to keep the company and product pointed in the right direction. That means shifting initiatives a few times a year to make sure we're always working on the right problems. The rapid change can be unsettling but perfect for someone who loves facing new challenges. This startup breathes the hustling vibe of true New Yorkers.
