Pros

The whole thing is actually great! Dont let the haters tell you different. This is the best start up type company to work for. i had no background in rentals and came to this team and haven't missed quota even once. These other posters are clearly disgruntled about this not working out for them. Zillow pays a great base and it's no secret that some sellers are fine not trying to do more, sitting back and pretending to do work. That doesn't sit well with anyone. The two guys that led the sales team were replaced a few months ago which these other posters are hanging onto, the people in place now are higher up and are just a lot more direct. No clue what some of these posters are talking about the support teams are great. Not naming names but they have closed deals for me when in a pinch.

Cons

Those of us not in an office miss out on the great culture that everyone talks about but we did get flown to Vegas as a team which was fun. Also the video conference system doesn't always work very well. I said it in the pros but the people who have posted here and are really bad. Working with people that think they know more then they do because they have worked for a rental vendor. Thanks but no thanks, I'll take zillow's track record every time.

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.
