Pros

- For the Chattanooga area, HomeServe typically pays above market value, but that's not saying much. - Many superficial activities and awards for those who are easily swayed. - The new building is awesome for what it is.

Cons

I have worked at HomeServe for a number of years and I'm usually very vocal. What I have witnessed over the past few months has really made me question the integrity of this leadership team. A lot of good, smart people have been let go due to politics and pettiness. When I was promoted into my current role, I realized that there is a bit of undercover misogyny and bias in leadership based on the way certain individuals were treated. I'm always amused at the people who post how wonderful this place is. This environment is toxic. It's impossible for a woman or person of color to ascend into upper management. They hired a black manager, but current leadership undermined him every step of the way and kicked him to the curb. The way they treated Ms. Deb was deplorable and to pretend that she was simply resigning shows the lack of respect that this company has for us. A good friend of mine was shown the door simply due to poor coaching, but a supervisor accused of theft was allowed to keep their job. The favoritism in this place is nauseating. For whatever reason, this company truly believes they can pacify us with a few trinkets, awards, and a ridiculously expensive Christmas party while also telling us that they have no money for raises. Why are we bothering with surveys if nothing is going to change?! The local HR team has proven to be utterly useless and the senior management cares more about style points than substance. That's OK because the public will learn more and more in the coming months, especially since this company has failed to hire the additional agents promised as part of their tax break agreement.

Thank you for your honesty. We do value feedback. It’s disappointing to know that we're falling short of your expectations. We’re fully committed to fostering a work environment that brings out the best in our people so they can in turn offer their best to one another, our customers and our community. A recent engagement survey indicated that 85% of our employees are proud to work at HomeServe, would recommend it as a workplace to friends and family, feel a sense of belonging, and intend to be working here for the foreseeable future. For us, that’s a record-setting engagement and sentiment score that we’re extremely proud of. HomeServe is a place where everyone has room to learn and grow, which is why we're pleased that in our Chattanooga office, more than 70 people were promoted last year (80% were internal). We're excited about our growth opportunities, which was among the key reasons for our new building that will in turn help us increase our workforce here. Our team is comprised of well-qualified women, minorities and other individuals whose diverse characteristics and backgrounds make HomeServe a great company. Finally, misogyny, bias, favoritism or discrimination of any kind have no place at HomeServe. If you or any of our colleagues have experienced that, you're urged to speak with a company leader or human resources.
