Pros

It’s beyond inspiring to see senior leadership in the trenches with front-line sales on a regular basis! After nearly a decade at a “slow, dumb” corporation, my role at Zillow has allowed me to realize the joy of exceeding the high expectations that I’ve always held for myself as a sales professional. Along with the numerous career milestones achieved, my wife and I welcomed our second son to this beautiful world last year. The accommodation and peace of mind we had through the life changing experience was more than we could ever ask for, and has allowed us to set a strong foundation for our family’s future. I look forward to many, many more “ZAnniversaries” with this brilliant organization, as we challenge each other to grow and evolve as professionals and contributing members of society.

Cons

Not a single negative experience in my first year of employment!

Pros

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.
