Pros

I felt that the benefits package and PTO was exceptionally good. I liked most of the people that worked at HomeAdvisor.

Cons

The music was unbearably loud and often had offensive language. The strong arm sales tactics were over the top. There seemed to be little consultation in the sales process making it difficult to build value. It did not seem that they had the best interest of the client in mind. Overall it was a toxic environment. I have never worked any place quite like it. I have never worked any place where spoofing your phone number to trick people into answering the phone was needed. I am perplexed at how they claimed to be ranked a number one employer. I have noticed that negative reviews seem to disappear from many of the reporting sites. I also find it interesting that the turnover rate is so high. It was a terrible experience working at HomeAdvisor. I spent decades in sales and was very successful. In my professional opinion, Home Advisor lacked all of the essentials of a healthy work environment. I would recommend steering clear of the place. They will tell you of the few that are having success and believe me it is few. They are having success because they receive the better leads. If you are not one of them you are making hundreds of calls each day to be cursed at or hung up on. Although most of the leads are bogus with bad data. It is hard to be successful under those conditions.

While I appreciate the review, it is upsetting to read a review like this one, with some of the information being simply not true. We are proud to have been named a 2017 Top Workplace -- an award based solely on votes from employees -- and our sales training and development, while competitive, sets employees up for support and success. I’m disappointed to learn your feelings about our work environment, and I hope you were able to get your specific concerns addressed while you were on the team. – Tom Cheatham, VP Sales, Indy

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
