Pros
I met cool people that I hope will one day SOON get out ASAP
Cons
This place is toxic. There is a HUGE drug and alcohol problem in the office there both in management and in reps. The managers simply do not care at all about you unless you’re making them money. Will yell at you over zoom calls and make you feel like absolute garbage as a way to “pump you up” and if you have a problem with something that was said to you they will be so quick to call you emotional or not tough enough for the job and manipulate you. The managers will tell you that you’re like family and that everyone is like family and then talk about you behind your backs to the other reps on your team. Unprofessional business practices is an understatement. They will cover up fraud that happens with the reps if it’s making them money. The program isn’t even profitable for the consumer. They tell you they believe in you and then the SECOND you’re struggling will not care about you because you’ve stopped making them money. I beg anyone and everyone do NOT work in the Chicago office. It is the most toxic work environment I’ve ever been in and I’ve seen so many people turn into complete monsters because of that office. There is no culture like they promote. It’s a favorites game until you’re pushed out and ostracized to the point of wanting to quit. Because they won’t fire you, they’ll make you quit or not give you a good review if anyone tries to call them for a recommendation. I cannot stress this enough. DO. NOT. WORK. THERE. Worst job I’ve ever had and I’ve told my new manager some of the things that went down there and they were shocked. No job is better than working for HomeAdvisor. Don’t waste your time. They need to go out of business.
