Pros

Move fast thing big. If you aren't into moving quickly and thinking big picture about the future of the goals of this company, it's audience, and it's advertisers, don't bother. If you are a driven individual who believes in the huge forecasted picture of the company you exhaust yourself for, this is the place for you. Run by true professionals and amazingly smart people, Zillow Group has shaped my life over the last 3 years and I could not be more grateful for the opportunity it has presented my family and myself. The opportunity has provided me purpose, direction, and a feeling of gratification that we are moving the needle of introducing agents to consumers, mortgage lenders to consumers, etc. etc. five years from now when you google anything home related you can bet your last dollar it will be a Zillow Group owned site. If you want to be a part of the revolution, I suggest you do anything you can, as quickly as you can... to jump aboard. things are moving quick!

Cons

I unbiasedly cannot think of any

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.
