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

You can make good money here.

Cons

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.
