Pros

It’s beyond inspiring to see senior leadership in the trenches with front-line sales on a regular basis! After nearly a decade at a “slow, dumb” corporation, my role at Zillow has allowed me to realize the joy of exceeding the high expectations that I’ve always held for myself as a sales professional. Along with the numerous career milestones achieved, my wife and I welcomed our second son to this beautiful world last year. The accommodation and peace of mind we had through the life changing experience was more than we could ever ask for, and has allowed us to set a strong foundation for our family’s future. I look forward to many, many more “ZAnniversaries” with this brilliant organization, as we challenge each other to grow and evolve as professionals and contributing members of society.

Cons

Not a single negative experience in my first year of employment!

Pros

Great work life balance, great compensation, great opportunity to make as much as you want. Great work culture, amazing benefits....plus a lot more. I'm writing this review because I've worked in the Seattle sales office for a while now and shocked to read all the comments about have to work over 40 hours a week in order to make quota. Which is NOT TRUE!!! I think our quota's are more than reasonable and most decent worker in sales usually surpass their quota about 120% if not higher. If you feel like you need to work more than 40 hours in order to hit quota, you're probably not cut out for sales or this is not the right job for you. That's just being brutally honest. I've worked in sales for over 12 yrs for many different companies and Zillow is probably one of the best ones with low stress, great work life balance and still have potential to make a lot of money. Of course you have to work HARD though, I honesty work less than 40 hours a week and sales managers don't mind. As long as you keep your numbers up and hit quota which is very achievable you get full autonomy and if you want to leave a little early on a Friday its totally OK!

Cons

Can't think of anything, keep up the good work!

Pros

They bring alcohol around sometimes on Fridays, and durring big celebrations.

Cons

They usually make promises that they have no intention of keeping, and they recently got into a lot of trouble with the Kansas labor board for not paying people the overtime that they earned over the last several years. You will receive no support from your managment, so other employees will be the way you learn your position, and they routinely have people in the office who use narcotics, and other hard drugs. Good luck here, because no matter how hard you work, or for how long the "recognizing employee" meetings are you sitting there and having to clap for managers, and people who are good friends with managers who benefit from the hard work of the employees under them.

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We value your insight and are constantly seeking ways to improve our employee experience. We especially appreciate the input regarding employee recognition as it’s important to us that each of our employees feel valued. We will look for more ways to be inclusive of each employee’s contribution. I am disappointed to hear about some of your experience at Mortgage Lenders of America. We regret you did not have a positive employment period. HR, as well as all members of management, are available to support employees at all times with an open door communication policy. If you were aware of any employee conduct issues that did not meet the guidelines of our handbook, we would remind you of the ability to report these issue to any member of management or directly to our Compliance Officer. Thank you again for the time you took to write a review as it helps us become an even better place and best of luck in your future endeavors.
