Pros

Great insurance packages. Competitive hourly pay. Career training that sets you up for life outside of ZG (normally you'd pay to learn what you're provided here.) Company-paid team outings. Endless networking opportunities. Ability to work remotely anywhere in the US.

Cons

"Career growth" pretty much entails being micromanaged every single step of the way. Your career growth will never overcome the many internal quid pro quo relationships. Diversity & Inclusion at Zillow is treated more like wearing the new black than actual allyship, because it's all materialistic. If you are a risk taker, plan on getting laid off if/when you take on a pilot program, because every single pilot that ZG creates is closed with layoffs, not demotions. The current CEO has taken away every piece of culture we had once we worked remotely.

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.
