Vantaggi
Hometap has been great to me the past 4+ years I've been along for the ride. There have been great times, there have been not so good times, but there have never been BAD times. Things change quickly, yes, but that is kind of what you are signing up for when you join a startup in the finance world. The product itself is great. It feels good helping homeowners all over the country reach their goals, where traditional options would have slammed a door in their face. You really get to make a positive impact in many people's lives. If you don't fully grasp the product, or don't have the skillset to educate others on the full scope of a Hometap Investment, I can see why people would not do well here. I sleep very well at night and am proud of the work we are doing here.
For the skeptics and critics, no one has prompted me to write this review, but I feel compelled after reading so many negative things the past few months. I think leadership has done a pretty okay job at communicating the good, the bad, and the ugly with us all. It seems some haven't been paying attention in these reviews? Many of these complaints have been addressed numerous times with dates and very thorough details of the whys, hows, whens....
There are a lot of growth opportunities here to advance your career, our sales managers and directors are awesome to work with, and the compensation plan is AWESOME. I can assure you that I have not been handed anything on a silver platter here, there are no "favorites" or whatever people are saying. Those of us who are succeeding have also had times where we have not succeeded. The good months have far outweighed the bad months for me. That is the yin and yang of sales. I've watched several IMs join Hometap who had little to no financial sales experience who figured this out and have been able to succeed. (Our trainers were top performers and have a great onboarding program now!) I've watched brand new people join and immediately succeed. I've watched countless peers get promoted. Every single one of us is more than willing to help others learn, but you need to bring a certain amount of grit and resourcefulness, or you'll fall behind.
Svantaggi
Lead flow consistency and fluctuations when we grow too quickly. Sometimes decisions are made rashly and it feels like upper leadership doesn't fully understand (or care) about the scope of how these changes will impact the frontline teams, the heart and soul of this company. Please consider us! We also don't have an employee 501(c)(3) non profit company donation match, which I'd love to see added in the future since we do some much in the community to give back in Boston.
