Best Company I Have Worked For

Pros

Overall my experience with Zillow has been phenomenal. I have been that the company for three years and have seen significant growth in both my role and salary over that time. I started in Inside Sales with no prior sales experience and within a few months got the hang of it and was off and running. The first six months of any sales job is hard so I knew going in that it was going to be a grind until I could create a good book of business. After that six month mark my sales continued to grow and grow and the role became a lot more dynamic as I was getting new business and working with existing customers of mine. During my time at Zillow, I have always been able to hit or exceed sales goals and the pay when doing so was at or above my expectations. Within the first two years I was promoted twice and am currently in a management role. I see lots of growth potential still and am excited for what is ahead for both the company and myself. In addition, I have referred five different friends here and all of them are still here and enjoy Zillow as well.

Cons

The job is hard when you start, no way around that. If you work hard though and take the time to learn from those around you there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. Any job that pays like this SHOULD be hard when you start. I feel proud of the work I have done to get me where I am at today.

Pros

Free Diet Dr. Pepper, a fast Internet connection, Cliff Bars, and a 24 hour fitness pass you'll never use.

Cons

I consistently see more full grown adults cry at Zillow everyday then any other place, including funerals. You're signing up to be the front man of an army. If you get shot in the first six months (aka fired) you'll be replaced no problem. Get a job, be a statistic, make money for your manager and listen to techno music. Try to sell zip codes that are not available to sell. Cool company, really hard job, it's just not for everyone. But hey, free Diet Dr. Pepper perks! That pays bills, nope.

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.
