Pros

Benefits and money but that doesn’t last long, like slapping lipstick on a pig.

Cons

They are gradually moving all teams to either El Salvador or Mexico making upward mobility non existent. They treat internal candidates like dog water. Have been told that maybe i should look for outside opportunities if I want to possibly move up. Constant reorg changes. Hiring from T-mobile has just made the environment stale as they would rather hire their friends.

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed perspective. We understand that frequent changes to roles, account ownership and business priorities can have a real impact on relationship-building and the day-to-day experience in sales. We’re glad to hear compensation was a positive part of your time at Zillow, and we appreciate you being candid about where the model and structure felt frustrating. Feedback like yours helps us better understand how these changes are experienced across teams as the business evolves.
