Pros

Compensation and culture. Can easily make 6 figures on the inside sales floor. Great people and exciting company to work for.

Cons

Upward mobility is limited especially pertaining to the sales floor. It is hard to move into management or vertically into other departments.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm glad the experience has been positive and I wanted to address your concerns. While it is competitive to earn promotions, there are literally 100 + people who've driven great results in Inside sales and we're promoted to either sales management, in-market sales, field sales and account management leadership. We always look to promote from within; all of the 22 sales managers on our team excelled as front line sales people, earning the opportunity to lead a team. We do look closely at sales activity to help our people achieve to their potential. Recently, we allowed veterans beyond the 6-month mark autonomy as it relates to call time requirements and I think if you asked most people on our team, they would tell you that they feel empowered to manage their day. We believe that people autonomy but we always are striving to improve the customer experience and that does entail the review of customer feedback and helping our people improve accordingly. Continued success at Zillow and if you'd like to discuss your progression further, I'd like to talk to you. Doug Slotkin VP, Local Ad Sales

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).
