Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. It is good to hear you saw value in the company benefits and felt the work/life balance was good. We put a lot of thought into both and much of what we develop to support both is driven by employee feedback. Regarding human resources and our leadership team, it is concerning to hear you feel both exhibit less than quality support. Both our leadership teams and human resources team focus quite a bit of effort in fostering an environment that enables our teams to do their best work. I am curious to hear how your experience conflicts with that focus. Any insight you can share is welcome. Regarding your advice, Zillow Group has an array of amazing opportunities and a keen focus on career development. I have to say anyone who is serious about their career and wants to grow is well positioned to do just that with Zillow Group. I appreciate you taking the time to submit your thoughts and if you have more reach out to stevec@zillowgroup.com to share. Best of luck with your future endeavors.

Pros

The benefits and shiny offices will keep you coming back, until the cons below make you go running home.

Cons

I could go on and on in this section but it's best to keep it simple and to the point. Zillow Denver offices are unprofessional and unsafe. This is a frat house culture. I was forced to drink alcohol (even though I'm under 21) while on the clock. I witnessed people be terminated for having disabilities. Everyone in PAC hates their job but the pay and benefits keep people around. However this enables Zillow to pressure their employees to break the law while on the clock.

Maintaining a safe and respectful work environment is our top priority at Zillow Group, and we have clear anti-harassment and respectful workplace policies to support employees. Being forced to consume alcohol is in violation of these policies and unacceptable. Please reach out to me directly at dans@zillowgroup.com for support. We also have confidential channels you can access as well. We take accountability for our workplace environment and will investigate any concerns around workplace behavior or culture.

A total pump and dump stock scam

Sales executive

Pros

Worked in New York office where most employees would come in high on drugs to work in the morning or slip out during lunch hour and come back reeking of pot. No advancement opportunity and long 12 hour days just cold calling non stop making 250 to 400 phone calls every day. Pressure to make 400 calls a day and over-sell to the real estate agents who are the target audience. Company really makes money on website ads not their actual product. Predicting bankruptcy very soon, stock is a heavy short. Worst CEO in the history of corporate America. Absolutely a slime pit.

Cons

Read the pros. Read the pros.

While we appreciate candor in all posts, it is apparent based on your assessment this post is not meant to be constructive. None of what you assert is anywhere close to being an accurate or fair assessment of our sales operation in New York City.
