Pros

I love my job and I love coming to work every day. I get to do really cool things with awesome people for a company that is going places. The OC office is amazing - always fun things going on with tons of food, drinks, and other surprises. Work hard and you will definitely be recognized. The company is growing and growing, which means that hard workers have many chances to move up (obviously with hard work, patience, and the need to fill a company void). Aside from all of the perks (trips to Seattle, etc), my manager is 100% supportive of my growth and development and as we've grown, I've been exposed to a multitude of things I couldn't get anywhere else. It feels like I packed years of experience into my short time here at Zillow and it isn't slowing down.

Cons

You're expected to work hard every day. They tell you this in the interview, so it's not a surprise, but they mean it when they say it, which is a big reason why the company has been so successful. There is a culture of excellence here and those that adhere to the standards will go far and do great things.

Very collaborative team, encouraging team members and managers. Great experience overall.

Cons

Because most people work remote, sometimes it can be hard to meet immediately to chat.

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed perspective. We understand that frequent changes to roles, account ownership and business priorities can have a real impact on relationship-building and the day-to-day experience in sales. We’re glad to hear compensation was a positive part of your time at Zillow, and we appreciate you being candid about where the model and structure felt frustrating. Feedback like yours helps us better understand how these changes are experienced across teams as the business evolves.
