Pros

I've been in sales for over 20 years and have found that the overall experience at Zillow has been VERY rewarding and fulfilling. The culture is beyond compare and, if you know how to work hard, you are compensated very well for it. I'd recommend working for Zillow to any of my friends and family members without hesitation.

Cons

The only downside that I've found is that my significant other is not included in all of the award dinners/ etc that I've been able to attend. I love my fellow employees, but would rather spend that time outside of work with my wife . Not complaining about the awards, just would like to share in them with my wife.

Thank you for your feedback. It's great to hear you're enjoying your experience at Zillow so much. Especially since you've been around and can compare it to other opportunities...this means even more. And, great idea! Yes, starting this year, we will set aside at least one event in Denver to allow our Top Performers to bring a significant other to the recognition event. Thanks again for your feedback and I wanted you to know we listen. Have a great day! Greg Bland (VP/Site Director - Denver Zillow)

Pros

Awesome company, great people, great culture. I love everything about working here. Very excited to be a part of it

Cons

Need to come in early sometimes, stay late other times. Not really a con, just something I have never done before. But I'm proud to be a part of it

Spencer (CEO) here. Thank you for the great feedback. I'm glad you are having a good experience here. I love visiting the Denver office, which as you know, I do very frequently. The vibe in Denver is awesome, the team is motivated, and the results are extremely impressive. Thank you for your hard work.

A really real rentals review

Rentals in market regional sales executive

Pros

The whole thing is actually great! Dont let the haters tell you different. This is the best start up type company to work for. i had no background in rentals and came to this team and haven't missed quota even once. These other posters are clearly disgruntled about this not working out for them. Zillow pays a great base and it's no secret that some sellers are fine not trying to do more, sitting back and pretending to do work. That doesn't sit well with anyone. The two guys that led the sales team were replaced a few months ago which these other posters are hanging onto, the people in place now are higher up and are just a lot more direct. No clue what some of these posters are talking about the support teams are great. Not naming names but they have closed deals for me when in a pinch.

Cons

Those of us not in an office miss out on the great culture that everyone talks about but we did get flown to Vegas as a team which was fun. Also the video conference system doesn't always work very well. I said it in the pros but the people who have posted here and are really bad. Working with people that think they know more then they do because they have worked for a rental vendor. Thanks but no thanks, I'll take zillow's track record every time.
