      Pros

      The benefits are great, plus a gym reimbursement and they do bring yoga to the office once a week which is a nice break. Also the people, the sales reps in the office consist of a lot of great personalities that are motivated and are passionate about what they do. They will fly you out to Seattle for the company christmas party, all expenses paid.

      Cons

      I would just advise to anyone who is looking to get involved with Zillow's sales dept. to be wary for at least another year. The goals are a far reach (to say the least) and the payouts have been lowered substantially. We no longer get stock regularly, nor do we get quarterly payouts. For the first year you do get a ramp, which is nice, but once its over the future is grim. It is not sustainable, the stress level can be extremely high. There is not a lot of flexibility or understanding for life's demands outside of work, you are held to your hours without options to work remotely. Although plenty of realtors are happy with our product, it is hard to feel pride for what you are selling when you can give no guarantee and its hard to measure their results. You feel as though you can't strategically work markets when you see them fail time and time again. Three words: corporate corporate corporate. Welcome to a world where the 'Kool Aid' is the only thing on tap. "Zillow Radio" is full of techno pump up music and blasts in your ears all day long while you try to work. You will move with the cattle as a rep with little opportunity to move up, too many people and not enough positions.

      Thank you for your feedback. Glad you're enjoying the people & benefits, definitely some of the best in any industry. But, I'm really sorry to hear you aren't having success, truth is though, you're in the minority. In fact, last month over 90% of our reps hit their quota (big $'s) and one team had 100% of every rep hit plan. It also shows in our attrition, which is at an all time low. Folks just aren't leaving. Whoo-Hoo!! If you've really been here for a year plus, you know that our company puts employees first and that includes compensation, especially for those who are willing to work hard and can sell. But, if you're still not seeing it, I'd love the chance to sit down and talk with you about how we can get you to the top. To get you to a place where you can achieve your goals, like so many here are, while doing it in an awesome, fun company. Which is also why were recently rated in the Top 10 "Best Places to Work" on glassdoor. www.glassdoor.com/Best-Places-to-Work-LST_KQ0,19.htm I hope you reach out to me, I really want to see every person here be successful and attain their goals! Shoot me an email (gbland@zillow.com or feel free to call my cell @ 303.801.8126). We're here for you. Greg Bland, VP Sales @ Denver

      Pros

      Where to begin... I told myself I would wait a year before I wrote this review, I wanted to make sure I wasn't just in a "honeymoon" phase. Well it turned out that it is not just a "honeymoon" phase at Zillow, it keeps getting better. My favorite perks/benefits are our desks that convert from sitting to standing at the push of a button, all the free snacks drinks and catered lunches, the gym reimbursement, 401k match, summer outing(we chartered a yacht for the day), holiday weekend(company flys all the employees out to Seattle for an awesome weekend), great health care....I could keep going but I think you get the point, it's awesome. My coworkers are all very self-driven so there is no need for micromanaging. The members of the executive team are all kind, down to earth and very intelligent. I have friends in the tech industry at other companies and when we compare cultures theirs just doesn't match up. Hoping for many more incredible years with Zillow

      Cons

      The only cons out there are the misconceptions that agents or others in the real estate industry have of Zillow, if they truly understood what Zillow's mission was, I think they would have a better appreciation for us.
