Be weary!!

Pros

The pay and the work being remote are great benefits. They also offer PTO and the standard health benefits.

Cons

So many cons, the job itself is basically selling worthless leads. There is no guarantee of the product or the value of it, you have insane goals 20k a month and you are expected to make 140 calls a day to people who don't want to talk to you. I have never felt more like I was working for a scammer, than the time I spent at Zillow. If you have any shred of integrity this job is not for you! There is basically no support, you meet with your manager 1 time a month and they give you the most hollow advice.

Great benefits, lots of perks and spend on culture and engagement

Pros

Great benefits, lots of perks. The company does care about employees and goes above and beyond to ensure everyone feels included.

Cons

Company Efforts on inclusion is large but little effort giving to Ageism. I experienced this when on hiring and promotion panel decisions. Demographic for above age 40 is very small company wide especially for new hires. Most of the above 40 are legacy employees that have been with the company from the early years. Layoffs- lots of starts/stops on new business lines. with every pivot they layoff and then hire.
