Manipulation/Gaslighting/Homophobia from Managers

Pros

This place is cutthroat and unsettling behind the scenes.

Cons

The managers targeted me for months largely due to homophobia. One manager told me I shouldn't be talking about having a boyfriend in the office because it would make other people uncomfortable. When she fired me during month 2 of the pandemic, the month after I hit my quota, I was given double my severance after I came forward with evidence of my manager contacting me on my days off and harrassing me. They still kept her as a Manager.

Pros

No micromanaging as long as you did what was expected of you. Very nice and comfortable work stations.

Cons

When Zillow took over Trulia the atmosphere slowly changed and not for the better. Revenue is brought in by the sales teams and when you continually raise quota with the same payout as the original quota it really puts a bad smell in the air and the writing on the wall was very clear. Zillow has turned corporate greed into an art form. I was once proud to say I worked for Trulia/Zillow and now I am embarrassed when I talk to my Realtor friends. I am truly glad that I escaped when I did.

Pros

Benefits - that's about it

Cons

The Denver Office used to be one of the best places to work at in Denver. The vibe was awesome, the people used to be great...now everyone is just like robots. People are getting walked out left and right. Gone are the days of creativity...and collaboration. All you have to do is just smile and say yes to your leader (Schwartz, Amy...we're talking to you here) and you'll have long term career potential with this company. And God help the ex-Trulia employees.....you all are doomed. Even Pete bailed off of the board.....hello red flag!

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with Zillow Group. Being someone who comes from the Trulia side myself, I must say your assessment is counter to my personal experience and the experience of many others who joined Zillow Group during the 2015 merger. Regarding creativity and collaboration, we drive that daily within each office and have made impressive strides in driving that focus between offices. It sounds like your experience has been different and I would like to hear more about it. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at stevec@zillowgroup.com. Best of luck with your future endeavors. Steve Capezza - Vice President, Premier Agent Sales
