Pros

This company still speaks loud volumes on startup vibe-since being here, the company has grown exponentially and growth opportunities are great if you can prove yourself. You have the ability to build a book of business and Zillow has a business model that is lucrative. It takes hard work, but upper management recognizes top producers and I have seen many promotions to well deserved reps. Toughest time is first 6 months

Cons

With growth- many changes and moving pieces . Every month something changes such as sales process and expectations. must work hard- plenty of days off but hard to take days off due to commission structure

Thank you for your review. I'm very glad that you're having a good experience here. The Irvine office is a great place to be (as you know). The office culture there is terrific, and the sales team crushes it there. I love visiting that office, which I do every few weeks.

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.

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.
