Pros

Upper management doesn't always get things right to start but they make things right in the end. At Zillow everything changes quickly and it's really good to know that if something changes to the negative it won't be for long. Free food is awesome Lots of cool groups like basketball, reading, etc

Cons

You have to be okay to change what you do on the day to day quickly but if you're cool with that there aren't many things I would consider a con

Thanks for taking the time to send over this great review. You are right, we take pride in moving fast and thinking big which makes things exciting! I think we do a good job holding our sales folks accountable for setting good expectations but please feel free to let your manager know if we are missing someone or something specific here. You are always welcome to stop by my desk and let me know too so I can help solve for this since it's not something we take lightly. Thanks again for your time and I'm glad you think this is a great place to be! Chris Lowe Senior Director - Inside Sales, Seattle

Pros

Huge opportunity from a personal, professional and financial standpoint. Great management team and great atmosphere. Maintain a start up culture despite having nearly 3,000 employees. Upward mobility and core values that are at the forefront of every decision the company makes.

Cons

Your time will be cut short if you do not adhere to the aforementioned core values. Only a "con" if you lack consistency or integrity

Pros

It's a very good company overall. Really good benefits, good pay, and the upper management such as the CEO are awesome.

Cons

The Premier Agent Concierge department is a decent job, but management makes it really difficult to enjoy and prosper in. It's honestly the worst management team I've ever had. They're the bottom of the barrel in intelligence, but had connections or were found attractive by upper management and were promoted to their position. I know that's usually how it goes, but it's worse here than anywhere else I've ever been, by far. I cannot stress this enough, I really can't, they basically only know how to micromanage, they have no actual skills or abilities to improve you or the team. Beware, if you don't like being treated like a 4 year old, or actually want to go places in your career, this is not a place you want to be. The job itself is basically making the same 30 second phone call 400 times a day, repeating the same thing over and over and getting hung up on and screamed at. You gain no more career skills than a telemarketer does in this position. I would recommend it for people as an in between job, but not as a serious career.

Thanks for your detailed comments. Though I’m glad you liked Zillow, I’m sorry you didn’t like the job itself or your particular manager. We try hard to ensure that people are promoted based on merit, and we’re also working on additional manager/leadership training. If you can provide specific feedback, I’d definitely like to hear it – feel free to email me at tonys@zillow.com. The job can be repetitive, but we’re also thinking of and working on ways to improve that. It’s also true that, even though we try to be very clear re: job expectations, the role just isn’t the right fit for some people, and that might have been the case here. Thanks again for your feedback and good luck on your next career step. Tony Small Vice President and General Manager, Premier Agent
