Vantaggi

It's a very positive work environment if you are able to defeat your own conscious.

Svantaggi

I really tried to make sales when I was working at HomeAdvisor most recently. I had an expectation that I failed to meet which led them to let me go. It was quite literally the perfect job for me, location, job itself, environment, etc. But I failed to meet their expectation which devastated me. I really tried so hard, I did everything in my power to succeed but it wasn't enough. My coworkers tried to help me, my supervisor tried to help me, I dug for my own leads, I called and called but still couldn't make it happen. It literally broke my heart to fail and I still don't understand what I did wrong. I don't understand why I failed. I always try so hard, without fail, my expectations of myself are always higher than the expectations that are set for me. So failure is not an option and it never happens. However this time it happened. I was informed by more than one person that my supervisor could have kept me if he felt that I could succeed moving forward. He chose to not to which made me feel as if there was something more seriously wrong with me outside of my initial failure to meet the quota. Hence my current state of disarray. I not only failed but I wasn't worth saving. It's a bummer to the highest degree.

Vantaggi

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Svantaggi

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
