its all about the shareholders, pivot, pivot, pivot, corporate restructure, letting go of tenured employees. Very stressful and monotonous.

Companies in growth mode do need to continuously innovate in order to have ongoing success. I feel it’s a privilege to work for a company that understands their “why” and is steadfast in that purpose. If you’d like to discuss further, please reach out directly to me at anns@zillowgroup.com Thanks again for your feedback. -Ann Sobil, Senior Director, Premier Agent Sales
In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed perspective. We understand that frequent changes to roles, account ownership and business priorities can have a real impact on relationship-building and the day-to-day experience in sales.
We’re glad to hear compensation was a positive part of your time at Zillow, and we appreciate you being candid about where the model and structure felt frustrating. Feedback like yours helps us better understand how these changes are experienced across teams as the business evolves.
