      Pros

      Great people, I battled in the trenches with my fellow reps everyday. All of us unsatisfied, frustrated and ignored by management which ended up bonding us. The only good thing that came from my tenure at Houzz is my promotion to AE for my resume.

      Cons

      Bad leads from over 10 years ago, ZERO work life balance if you are going to try to hit your monthly goal, awful sales planning leading to unrealistic targets. The management is totally out of touch and constantly blame reps for falling short of goal. Favoritism and playing a political game are very real here. If a manager doesn't take a special interest in you you'll eventually fail. All upper management are DROWNING in the koolaid while their entire sales staff is unhappy. ZERO consistency/stability in goals, compensation and product. Houzz is suffering from a SEVERE identity crisis.

      Pros

      Great learning environment. Great training. Amazing people. Benefits started on day one. Fully remote. I will say i came down with COVID-19 and had continued health issues that kept me from working for 4 months. They worked with me and I came back to be successful in the role. I loved my team and my immediate leadership. I think if you are straight out of college or want to try sales. They are a great place to cut your teeth

      Cons

      Base pay is barely above minimum wage here in Washington. Most of the people were working two jobs. Leads are not warm or cool. They are many times incomplete and ice cold. They also make you stay an SDR for a year minimum and changed the rules on the requirements to be promoted to AE on training classes the were a month away from their 12th month. To many mini meetings everyday. 3 per day is waaaay to much. While it breaks up the day it also messes with your call flow.
