Zillow Premier Broker is the place to be!

Pros

I sell a brokerage solution that helps brokers build teams and bridge the gap on working online consumers. Premier Broker is the "tip of the spear" in terms of new product launches and helping brokerages keep up technologically in the ever changing world of Residential Real Estate. We have one of the best teams in the organization in terms of culture, support and growth opportunity. Within my time here, I've seen consistent positive growth to accelerate income and opportunity. Feedback is taken very seriously, management truly cares and it's a really tight knit group within the greater Zillow family. You can be yourself, have a great work/life balance and make great money at the most iconic brand for Real Estate online. Zillow Premier Broker is the team to be on!

Cons

No real cons. We had a few learning curves with new product launches last year but learned quickly and adapted. This is to be expected as Zillow moves fast within a traditionally slow changing industry.

Pros

For the last 4 years I have had the incredible opportunity to be a part of a world class organization that focuses on culture, recruiting/ retaining top talent, work/ life balance and moving fast, thinking big. Since I have started the thing I say to anyone asking about the company is that, this is the only job I have ever had that you will work 7.5/ 7 hours out of an 8 hour work day... and they'll pay you well for it. As a salesperson that has had many salaried+commiss sales jobs is that it always turns out your pay is constantly being messed with. Working here in that capacity, they will pay you what you are worth, yes you'll work hard and you'll feel good about your work and they will pay you well for doing it! I cant ask for much more than that. It's a tech culture so you feel like you're being taken care of, great kitchen, snacks etc... but to me the most important thing is that you compensate me for the work you're asking of me and I can't stress how good it feels to be in a company that does just that.

Cons

Mid management politics suck at every company this size. The good thing is most of the managers have been here as reps prior to being a manager so they get the Zillow culture and live by it, outside management hired into the culture tend to not buy into so much, so it can be difficult as a seasoned rep here to deal with the politics that usually comes from management hired from outside the family. Keep your head down and create your destiny here.
