Don’t bother spending money on an amusement park: the roller coaster is here in Indianapolis. - Senior Solutions Consultant Angi Employee Review

Ironically, when asked to leave a review for Angie’s List, they want it under their umbrella company ‘IAC’ so you won’t find many current reviews for Angie’s List. If you are a recent graduate (or if you’re in dire need of a job) and want to get some experience - then have at it. You are just what they are looking for! If you are an actual seasoned sales professional - do not bother. Could write a book about my experience here; just do research. This is not a consistent job or career path. It was years ago, when Angie’s List had an exceptional sales force, and individuals were proud to be here. The smart people saw the writing on the wall. Angie’s List before the acquisition was never profitable - and thus, the billion dollar IAC giant acquired them (ie, HomeAdvisor parent company). But that is neither here nor there. Here’s what you need to know: The compensation plan is NOT in favor of you. Here’s what to expect: constant change of any and every initiative you could think of; each month. If you do not play the game here, you won’t make it. The business model is to have you be in a a ‘sweet spot’ where you earn very little commission, while the company absorbs the rest of the sales you bring in for that period. You’ll have a good period here and there - if your manager wants you to. See, that’s the thing... the leads and account distribution. It is all controlled by management. Your manager will directly assign your leads to you. It is not a ‘random’ distribution of high value leads as they would like you to believe. Your rotating territory every period, good luck making any money off of that. It does not matter how talented you are - if they decide to give you a portfolio of old accounts and no new ‘business center’ leads which are basically the only accounts anyone sells anymore, then you will be phased out quickly. If you’re a newbie; guess what - if they like you, they may give you some ‘lay up’ accounts that a chimpanzee could sell because the leads are mostly sold already on the BRAND, as long as you don’t screw up royally you’ll likely get the sale - this gets you feeling good - then you’ll see that go away, quickly. There is no need for me to continue to bash this place, or go in to further detail. That is for you to figure out. At the end of the day, it *is* a job. Buyer beware. Good luck out there! :)
