Pros

Perks, sign on bonus, Nice office

Cons

A major con and red flag is them withholding information about the role. Not telling us during the hiring process we needed to sell a certain amount of deals during training to remained hired. You don’t find this out until weeks into training. Unless you’re desperate for a job and unemployed don’t leave your current job that’s secure for a place that isn’t. I’m not sure why Zillow invests so much into employees only to fire them if they don’t make the cut. Thankfully I was able to stop a previous coworker from leaving his job to come here bc he too was unaware of the requirements. Recruiting is being shady and not telling people because obviously no one would take the job.

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.
