Regional Account Executive New Construction Team - Anonymous employee Zillow Employee Review

Pros

This team maintains a positive work environment, Zillow Group is a fun company to be a part of with great benefits and a lot of fun perks, i.e. food, swag, events and more!

Cons

The New Construction team is constantly changing whether that be territories, compensation plans or commission structure. The role is overall constantly evolving, from inside sales, to outside sales, to travel out of state once a month, to travel out of state 40% of the time. You never really know what to expect and it is important to be okay with your role changing all of the time in all aspects of the business. Other than out of state travel, the team does provide a strong work/life balance.

Thank you for your feedback on Zillow and the New Construction Team. I’m glad you liked the positive work environment, and found it to be fun with a lot of benefits, perks, and more. I’m also happy that you experienced the good work/life balance which we take seriously. It is true there has been a lot of changes to the business, and I can understand that it can be challenging (or at least not great) to be at the center of that change. We’re always going to be changing (probably the one thing that won’t change), but we can always be better at how we manage and communicate the evolutions. We’ll take your feedback as a vote to do better in this area. In the meantime, if you have any more specific feedback, feel free to reach out to me at any time at tonys@zillowgroup.com. -Tony Small, Group Vice President, Sales and Operations

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
