Independent - Independent Contractor Angi Employee Review

Good pay and a good schedule

I don’t think there are any cons

Well, I met some of my favorite people during my tenure at Handy. Those people are what kept me there for as long as I stayed. I can also say that everyone I worked with was very smart, talented, and inspiring. My job was not at all stressful. I never took work home with me. I did not work long hours. Catered lunches.

Where to begin! I think the main takeaway is that this company is painfully cheap. They don't give raises or promotions as often as one might expect, and when they do, the increase is so pitiful it has no impact on net pay. I personally know an employee who has been with the company for 1.6 years without a single pay increase. The company also presents itself as a marketplace, with equal attention and respect given to its contractors and customers, however that is entirely untrue. Customers come first, and every contractor on the platform can feel it. They put together an achingly out-out-touch and awkward culture deck, "modeled after Netflix" but if you pull up each deck side-by-side, you'll see that they are lost. Every executive at this company is a rich kid who doesn't understand and will never seek to understand the needs of the less privileged. They've outsourced most of their Customer Experience down south, and it's clear they won't do anything to foster or develop any of the remaining employees in New York-they are forcing them to quit.
