Upper Management is Destroying a Great Department

Client engagement specialist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful benefits...that cannot be disputed. Gym reimbursement, incredible health/dental/vision coverage, generous PTO that is available for use immediately, really great coworkers, casual dress code.

Cons

LOTS of passive-aggressive behavior. I cannot speak for other departments, but mine most certainly strayed from the core values (especially Turn on the Lights and Act With Integrity). Sick time cannot be used without 48 hours notice, which defeat s the purpose of having it (you cannot plan when you get sick). Hardly any room for growth unless you want to work on commission in the sales department, which definitely isn't for everyone.

Hi, I'm glad to hear you think ZG benefits are great. I agree with you on that front. I respectfully disagree that there is no room for growth, as we've had more than 50 Client Engagement Specialists get promotions or other roles with Zillow Group in the last year. In addition, more than half of our leads in Denver were promoted from within. As for the use of sick time, Zillow Group offers a very competitive and generous benefits package which includes paid time off and sick time. This allows employees to take planned and unplanned time out of the office. We do ask that employees give advanced noticed for any planned time off. Relative your comments about straying from our core values, I see our leaders work hard to live those values everyday, and challenge each other when they feel those values are in danger. If you have experience that doesn't match with this, I'd very much like to hear your specific feedback. Please reach out to me directly at jrg@zillowgroup.com so I can follow up. -JR Gast, VP Client Experience.

Started Off Great, Ended Poorly

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

- Benefits cannot be beaten - Diverse cultures across teams was great to experience - Compensation was good - Cross pollination was insightful

Cons

- Difficult to have a work life balance when you're asked to work unreasonable amount of hours - No room for career growth or opportunities to learn from past mistakes - There were many cases of miscommunications/poor assumptions made of team members. This led to many cases of office politics, gossip, and poor efforts on management to handle.
