Pros

The NUMBER ONE thing I love about working at Zillow is the culture and the people. You get all the fancy stuff like catered lunches, happy hours, unlimited snacks and drinks, unexpected Zillow trips out and an amazing Holiday party in Seattle... but I could not imagine my work life without all the amazing Zillowites I get to spend my day with. At Zillow, there is so much camaraderie and support, each and every person WANTS you to succeed. The benefits are AMAZING and more importantly, the room for growth is substantial. The best part is upper management has all started as a sales rep. They know the ups and downs you go through so there is nothing that they can't help you with. Upper management asks for advice on how to improve and what the "little guys" want / are unhappy about and ALWAYS implement. The CEO, CRO, Directors, Managers and all the Execs are the BEST professionals and people I have ever worked with. Period.

Cons

Like any sales job, the job is going to be TOUGH. Some people hate it because they are not cut out to be sales people. Period. You can not determine your role or how well you will do at the job for at least 6 months. Therefore, if you are hardworking, positive and enthusiastic, give yourself time to see how amazing the job and the company really is. You will have to cold call people and get uncomfortable at times... i was fresh out of college when I started little over a year ago. The thing about this sales job is THE PRODUCT WORKS. There is nothing worse than selling a product you don't even believe in. We have THE BEST PRODUCT in the industry... how many people can say that?!? Once you see it work, the conviction in your conversations will sell itself. Most have the initial fear of failing because you have no book of business to work from. You have to start fresh and that is hard and scary... but every day gets easier and you will not have a better support system anywhere else.

Pros

Health benefits. Weekly catered lunches and snacks provided. Nice office. After a year you can be considered a veteran because of turn over.

Cons

Job hours are beyond a legal right without overtime. It's a class action suit lawyers dream. Job has high call demand that keeps you late and often beyond a 9-10hr day. Lunch breaks are discouraged. Guilt if you have any appointments or need a break. You feel overworked and over regulated. Not a good job for parents. To cry or breakdown is normal. Hard to make good money your first year. Top sellers are awarded with a t-shirt or swag. High turn over and most new hires won't last 90 days. Management can act childish and quickly decide your fate at the company.

Pros

+ work/life balance is great, since leadership just sleep-walk. they don't do anything, nor make any positive impacts + maternity leave - great for the beneficial. bad for the team since someone has to cover for their work while they are gone for a long time. leadership will tell u to figure it out without any help.

Cons

- lack of leadership, all they do is re-org and re-org until you quit. clueless - CEO and CTO has past their prime. what worked 20 years ago, they still living in the past. fossils. - lack of accountability by leadership. they laughed and joked during all-hands on their mistakes of ZO and then tells 2000 employees that they will be responsible and layoff. while they will have great bonuses for upcoming year.
