Pros

I absolutely adore this company as a whole. The benefits it has provided for me and my children are unmatched.The atmosphere is incredible and the income potential is unlimited. Best of all the product works and I've seen it changed lives for both friends and family in the real estate business. That in itself is a very difficult thing to find especially in Orange County

Cons

Like any rapidly growing company I think they need to pay more attention to what drives revenue. Don't forget the little guys on the phones pushing the cart ;)

We also have an important product development team in Irvine that builds software for real estate agents. Thank you for doing what you do, and for contributing positively to the work culture here at Zillow.

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.
