Best Job I've had, and I have had plenty....

Pros

As a college student working towards a degree it is difficult to find a job that seems to work with you. I originally worked at another large corporation that shall remain nameless, but was very hard to work with my school schedule. Dotloop is apart of Zillow, but seems to work as a small company within a large company. The benefits of working at Dot loop are tremendous, the pay is good for the area and economy, the healthcare is great, there are free snacks in the office, along with free yoga just to name a few. The schedule for my position varies, from am to midnight Monday- Friday, and am to pm on the weekends, but they are willing to work with you as they offer Paid time off, and Sick leave separately. The offices have different networks that discuss varies topics like investments, disabilities, and a network for each office that informs everyone of what is going on in the city or if you just need a helping hand. Overall my experience so far at Dot loop has been unmatched, and as a former flight attendant, casino lead, optometrist apprentice and many other jobs I could name this experience is fantastic.

Cons

The downside of this job, is that in Cincinnati there are not as many opportunities to move forward in specific fields, as it is a smaller office. With that being said there are other offices we have including Seattle, Phoenix, and San Francisco just to name a few that offer tech, customer support, HR, and Accounting. They are willing to let you move forward to different offices if possible.

Thank you for the review. We are certainly proud of the brand the team has built and its recognition within the industry. Regarding the sales commission program, it is an uncapped one. Regarding our leadership team and our sales tech, I would love to hear more specifics about where you see opportunities for us to improve. We made quite an investment crafting and implementing our Leadership Principles, which certainly are not reflected in the sentiments you shared. We are always looking to improve our sales tech; so, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts. Please feel free to reach out to stevec@zillowgroup.com, if you would like to add more. Best of luck with your future endeavors. Steve Capezza - Vice President, Premier Agent Sales

Pros

Fantastic pay, fantastic benefits, fantastic opportunity for professional growth. I've been here 5 years and it's the happiest I've been at a job in my life. I have had the opportunity to grow in several roles and participate in many pilots (pilots are an excellent opportunity to live the core value #MoveFastThinkBig and really push yourself to do something new and amazing!). I've been mentored by some brilliant people, I've always felt like management is truly invested in my growth and in keeping the very best talent long term. In looking at what I "should" be making as an average for my job title, my actual pay at Zillow always comes out on top even without taking into account the extremely generous benefits. I've referred numerous people to work here, it's the best place to work!

Cons

I sound biased, but there really aren't any. It's not very fancy, so if your ego requires an office, the semi-casual open floor plan with no offices probably won't be your thing. But I love it.

Thank you for this great review! I was particularly happy to see that you've had a great experience with mentorship and development. This is something that we are investing even more heavily in. It is a key part of our leadership development, and will be critical to enable us to continue to grow. Thanks for being here!!
