Pros

Zillow was a great place for me to grow as a sales professional over the past 4 1/2 years. I experienced a ton of change throughout my tenure, and even more personal growth. This is a world class organization at ZGOC. There are some great leaders starting with a Senior Director who will be dearly missed when she heads north. The people are great here, that’s what I will miss the most. The product is best in the industry when used and scaled properly by the Premier Agents. The sales processes are great and ever evolving with consistent and ongoing training. The performance of the ZGOC sales team is the best in the company, and I am proud to have been a part of it. There’s a strong financial opportunity for top performance. Zillow Group as a company truly follows its core values while working towards a strong and ambitious mission. Culture is amazing, benefits are awesome: health, 401k, fun office environment, award dinners, catered Friday lunches, food, coffee, ZG week in Seattle....

Cons

It can be a grind, but when things roll they’re great. Change happens fast, not a total con, but be ready to pivot at times and trust the process. Entry level pricing in some markets prices out a lot of agents from the beginning. Low turnout on the softball team often left us short handed for games.

Pros

Coworkers are generally very cool, easy to chat with Rockstar of the Month Award Monthly Bonus Upbeat culture On site gym free to all employees Many break areas MLOA Annual BBQ Annual Awards Ceremony Best operations team in the business

Cons

Some members of management have no sense of urgency and also depend on other managers to do their job for them Not a lot of room to grow, the lower management and unique roles are filled with people who enjoy it. LO turnover is high (though the tenured LO's typically ROCK IT) Pay is a tad lower than I'd like. Benefits are somewhat costly
