Pros

I have to put words here. In all honesty, it used to be really great. It used to be an environment where people felt valued, smart colleagues working together to solve complex problems, and generally a really great place to work. There is a reason HomeAdvisor was listed as a top place to work for 5 years in a row. Then HomeAdvisor rebranded as Angi and well, everything I just described went off a cliff.

Cons

Leadership changed over a few times and the environment is unrecognizable from the one I joined years ago. Deadlines are chosen like a game of darts on a calendar and no one is rewarded for actually meeting the outrageous deadline that was decided. There are surprise layoffs that seem to strategically happen before financial events like company earnings, employee stock vestings, the annual bonus review, etc. To which leadership will say those who were let go were "low performers", they were not. Often times managers are also left out of these discussions and are just as surprised as the employees are. If you are looking for a place to be rewarded for hard work, feel valued, work alongside smart coworkers, and have a great work/life balance then you will want to look elsewhere. HomeAdvisor/Angi somehow always finds new lows to the cliff it fell off of.

Pros

It’s work from home. Two 15 minute breaks and an hour lunch.

Cons

They are a very dishonest company. The hype up the job but in reality what you’ll be doing is spending all day calling random numbers in which about 95% of those people either won’t answer the phone or if they do, you will be hung up on within like two seconds. Not to mention the Angie reputation is so bad. It’s actually notoriously bad that even if you are able to get someone on the phone for more than a couple of minutes they’ll still end up hanging up just because of how bad Angie is. In my opinion Angie is a dishonest company selling a dishonest service because most of the leads they sell are fake and most of the leads they give their employees to call are also fake and if you don’t make these outrageous sales numbers you’re fired it’s a reason why the employee benefits don’t kick in until three months in because they know 95% of the people they hire won’t still be working there in three months because they will not hit the sales quotas. The only good thing about this job is its work from home really. And the hot leads they say they have 95% are fake or just someone who looked at a spam email. It’s actually comical how deceptive this company is.
