Pros

break area has a lot of free food and goodies

Cons

Too many druggies work there. I had 5 managers in the time I was there. 3 of them were on cocaine. one was even coked out while on the job. my first trip to Seattle for the annual party was something. someone in my training class told me he was at a party in one of the hotel rooms where he and half the managers were doing cocaine. don't let your daughter come work here.

Pros

Location, and free food and drinks

Cons

Management talks big about empowering employees, work-life balance and really caring for employees, but I didn't experience this.

Pros

The NUMBER ONE thing I love about working at Zillow is the culture and the people. You get all the fancy stuff like catered lunches, happy hours, unlimited snacks and drinks, unexpected Zillow trips out and an amazing Holiday party in Seattle... but I could not imagine my work life without all the amazing Zillowites I get to spend my day with. At Zillow, there is so much camaraderie and support, each and every person WANTS you to succeed. The benefits are AMAZING and more importantly, the room for growth is substantial. The best part is upper management has all started as a sales rep. They know the ups and downs you go through so there is nothing that they can't help you with. Upper management asks for advice on how to improve and what the "little guys" want / are unhappy about and ALWAYS implement. The CEO, CRO, Directors, Managers and all the Execs are the BEST professionals and people I have ever worked with. Period.

Cons

Like any sales job, the job is going to be TOUGH. Some people hate it because they are not cut out to be sales people. Period. You can not determine your role or how well you will do at the job for at least 6 months. Therefore, if you are hardworking, positive and enthusiastic, give yourself time to see how amazing the job and the company really is. You will have to cold call people and get uncomfortable at times... i was fresh out of college when I started little over a year ago. The thing about this sales job is THE PRODUCT WORKS. There is nothing worse than selling a product you don't even believe in. We have THE BEST PRODUCT in the industry... how many people can say that?!? Once you see it work, the conviction in your conversations will sell itself. Most have the initial fear of failing because you have no book of business to work from. You have to start fresh and that is hard and scary... but every day gets easier and you will not have a better support system anywhere else.
