Pros

I love my job, plain and simple. I created my own book of business from scratch and it's a living and breathing entity that I enjoy taking care of and expanding. The people are great. In fact I've met most of my best friends @Z and I've only been a sales rep for 8 mo. The culture is dynamic the vibe is fast paced and rewarding. The opportunity, with hard work, is seemingly endless; i.e. Uncapped commissions. I pay more in taxes than I made at my previous sales job that I thought I liked until becoming a 'Zillowite'

Cons

Work your butt off for the first 6 months and you'll not only more confident in your own life and skills but your own sense of self worth will skyrocket. Wait that's not a con.... No cons just be prepared to work hard and play hard.

Pros

Zillow focuses on hiring the best people and treating them like rockstars. No dress code, open office layout, free stocked cafeteria, weekly catered lunches, and fun off-site events are just a few of the non-traditional perks. They also have an awesome medical plan, stock options, and flexible PTO policy. You'll hear a lot of people mention "culture" as they talk about their experience at Zillow. That's because Zillow knows when you treat your employees well, THEY ACTUALLY ENJOY WORK! And we do. We have fun while growing a successful business. Senior management has the ship steered towards growth and their foot is on the gas.

Cons

Since Zillow hires rockstars, they want you to ROCK. Some might consider this challenge dead in the water. However, expectations are weighted on experience and skill level. If you set reasonable goals, they are achievable without being overly stressed.

Thank you for the great review! As you know, I love going to Lincoln. You guys are crushing it, and it's such a fun office to be in. Kathleen (COO) feels the same way and is always so fired up when she comes back from Lincoln. I think the recent changes there are going to be great as well. And thanks for the advice not to stop or get complacent. No worries there - I have no intention of slowing down, nor will I let anyone else!

Pros

You can dress casual, very casual.

Cons

Call time is huge, micromanagement, with managers are only looking out for themselves. The company does not invest too much in the individual employee because the turnover rate is so high. The product is hard to sell because so many agents are upset about the Zestimate. Selling to real estate agents is hard because they are RUDE. Monthly quotas which are very difficult to achieve.
