Pros

Once had the ability to work from home, though they can't seem to decide if it's allowed now or not. Happy Hours, free sports games, and all sorts of games to play in the office, flexible hours, and no dress code, which is nifty if you can put up with everything else.

Cons

Work Environment: This company was created by, and is still run by and for men with no regard for their female peers. Previous reviews note that there is a lot of smoking and drinking. This is true. While some amount of work does get done in between, if you're not a drinker or a smoker, you may not be comfortable with how much of the company's social interactions rely on it. The Business: In my time there, I saw people fired due to "budget cuts," entire aspects of the business dropped to the wayside because there was no money for marketing, yet parties, the purchase of more games for the office, and random outings for some teams and not others continued. Making a Career: If you're friends with someone in the office, you're probably fine. If not, you'd better be making more money than someone else. Failing both of these, your job is on the line every single day. Turnover in this company is ridiculous, the reactions to it petty, and management does nothing to explain why they're letting people go. Fear of being fired for something simple is real and constant. If you manage to stick around for a while, getting feedback on your work is nigh impossible. Plans for improvements and learning opportunities within the company are made, then swiftly forgotten. This company is still standing because it makes a lot of money. If you're comfortable toeing the line of plagiarism and lying through your teeth to your readers, you may just make it. And since this seems to be a pain point with these reviews, I'd like to add that I left of my own accord. I was not one of those fired without explanation. I was never sure of my position within the company, and think that applicants could find much better places to work.

Company going nowhere fast

Pros

Your job will be easy, you can move at a snails pace, very minimal expectations

Cons

Just don't work here. You won't be fulfilled. No one leaves for the day and says, "Wow, what a great job I did today." Most of the employees are nice, and you will get along with them, but as far as a "career," this just isn't it. There's no room to move up. They low-ball your salary, and it's just not a "cool" company. Boring product, no real enthusiasm from anyone on the team. You can see it in the employees eyes. Most are fat, lonely, sad people in their mid 40's. Not a judgement, just an observation. You can tell a lot about a company based on the physical appearance of it's employees, and these are people getting greasy "Five Guys" burgers every day. Does that sound like a happy, healthy, excited-to-be-alive individual to you? This is a safe job, not a challenging, exciting or interesting job. It's for people with no ambition.

Don't forget Shake Shack and Chipotle! There are tons of fast casual restaurants within minutes of Angels offices! We appreciate the tips on success from someone who got fired, most likely for incompetence and work performance that would've put us in the fast lane to bankruptcy. Perhaps if this person spent less time observing their fellow employees eating habits and more time working at faster than "a snails pace"... they would still be employed here. It might serve you well to take a Tony Robbins self-motivation and self-improvement course course since that's clearly what you were seeking Angel to provide you.

Avoid this "company" like the plague

Pros

The only popular pros seem to be the lack of dress code, free beer, and parties. Offers benefits and vacation

Cons

While this company stresses the fact that they are "transparent", they fire employees left and right with no notice and no legitimate reason. Have issues in the office? Good luck with HR considering it doesn't exist. After reading the other reviews, I wouldn't be surprised if they were fake and fabricated, also considering all the work done here is scamming people out of money. Everyone there lacks respect for others, to the point where many inappropriate lines are crossed. insulting employees as if it were high school, making it a very uncomfortable and immature work environment. With all being said, save yourself the trouble of working here.

While it is true that we don't have a dedicated HR person that is full-time (We are still a small growing company). We do have an employee that handles HR issues as well as Resources through ADP that handle any and all full-service HR situations. Not only that but issues can always be brought up to managers or other veteran employees as we are always looking for ways to improve! It is common that former employees feel they were not given any notice before being let go. That lack of internal reflection of their performance often leads to them feeling that way. However we do provide annual reviews and in many positions quarterly reviews of performance. Our "transparency" goal speaks to our overall company performance and how we run things, however we do respect employees privacy before during and after they are employed here.
