Pros
The teams are supportive and offer moral boost when you go weeks without a sale.
Cons
First off they hire there reps without outlining there is a class action lawsuit against the sales department of HomeAdvisor and they do this because of the following: The practices the company teaches their reps are borderline illegal and very unethical. Constantly are calling people on the National Do Not Call registry which is very illegal. The advise passed down from the management is to close the sale even when there is no benefit for the customer. Selling to people that cannot afford the product and are uneducated about how the service works. Constantly preached to do one call closes otherwise the customer will realize the product is a SCAM. The sales force targets service professionals that are borderline bankrupt or NOT service professionals at all. The company is growing their salesforce at an extreme level which is bringing every reps sales down across the board, which with the ridiculously low commision structure you will be lucky to add $400 on to your paycheck ever! Constantly calling leads that go nowhere, ex. leads pulled from facebook, yelp, and other sources that do not offer concrete information or even active #'s. When calling leads, more often than not they will scream at you for being the 15th person to call them in a 2 week time frame from HomeAdvisor. (clearly harassment) The management team when asked about what the repercussions are for calling people over and over about the service they clearly stated they "DO NOT WANT" is they would laugh and say "HomeAdvisor is to large of a company to have repercussions, because our legal team would take care of it" The list of unethical behavior within this company is sickening and it felt like a major weight lifted off my shoulders when I left. So if you feel like HomeAdvisor is your next career path ask yourself do I want to make NO money and be taught unethical sales techniques or should I pass? Always pass!
