Pros

Base pay, incentives, culture and diversity, ongoing training and support.

Cons

Immense and crippling stress, micro management, constant performance reminders that if you don't meet, you will be terminated. At Zillow, you're just a mule for the shareholders, don't be distracted by all the fun an bro culture. The second you under perform you are kicked out effective immediately. You also have to call agents who are bombarded with sales calls from a bunch of other product lines under the umbrella. It's overwhelming to the prospect and the employees catch so much heat for the constant outreach.

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.
