Zillow reviews

Most of these reviews make Zillow look like the most amazing place you could possibly work. I looked on Glassdoor prior to taking the job and was amazed at the positive reviews and felt privileged to get the offer. I realized pretty early on I had made a mistake. The sale cycle is quick, mostly 1-3 call closes. You are encouraged to work 9+ hours and make at least 120 dials a day. It is high stress to hit your numbers and it doesn't take long to get fired if you aren't. I got burnt out very quickly. All agents know what Zillow is by now and have either tried it, or have good reasons to not want to. It was an incredibly hard sale and I came from a similar inside sales position where I was very successful. I felt every day was an uphill battle. I am the first to say that Zillow.com is a fantastic site and am on it frequently, but as far as what appears to be a dream sales job, I didn't see that at all. Don't say I didn't warn you.

The only downside that comes to mind while submitting this review is that once in a great while, the Starbucks coffee machine in the kitchen goes "out of order" from all the use and attention is gets every day. The upside to that "con" is that it usually gets repaired that same day.
