Pros

For the last 4 years I have had the incredible opportunity to be a part of a world class organization that focuses on culture, recruiting/ retaining top talent, work/ life balance and moving fast, thinking big. Since I have started the thing I say to anyone asking about the company is that, this is the only job I have ever had that you will work 7.5/ 7 hours out of an 8 hour work day... and they'll pay you well for it. As a salesperson that has had many salaried+commiss sales jobs is that it always turns out your pay is constantly being messed with. Working here in that capacity, they will pay you what you are worth, yes you'll work hard and you'll feel good about your work and they will pay you well for doing it! I cant ask for much more than that. It's a tech culture so you feel like you're being taken care of, great kitchen, snacks etc... but to me the most important thing is that you compensate me for the work you're asking of me and I can't stress how good it feels to be in a company that does just that.

Cons

Mid management politics suck at every company this size. The good thing is most of the managers have been here as reps prior to being a manager so they get the Zillow culture and live by it, outside management hired into the culture tend to not buy into so much, so it can be difficult as a seasoned rep here to deal with the politics that usually comes from management hired from outside the family. Keep your head down and create your destiny here.

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.
