Pros

You’re not selling some bs product, you’re selling a product that works for the top brand in the industry. Great training when you start. Managers are great.

Cons

Monthly quotas, two misses and pack your bags. Seasonal demand, fall and winter can be very slow (quotas don’t change based on month). Often there is not enough sellable inventory to meet the sales reps needs. All the agents you’re selling to want leads from the same zip codes, and there’s only so many leads available in every zip code (sold out). Zillow has progressively made the commission structure less and less rewarding. Sales reps can make more than managers. Financially better off staying a sales rep then progressing into management.

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
