Pros

I'll start out by saying MLOA is the best place I've ever worked in my 25 year career, and that's competing with a company earlier my career that sent me to the Superbowl 4 years in a row. By the end of my interview and after meeting my Manager and Director, I knew this was going to be a great fit and career move. My manager leadership begins and ends with being in the trenches with everyone, he knows his stuff, he hates it when I call him boss ( he really does ) I've already learned many skills from him that I would consider to be total game changer. My Director has ultra in-depth knowledge of the industry and his leadership sets the tone for the entire division. There's no micro managing of adults and professionals and guess what ? its produced self motivated professionals, that know the fruits are within reach if you work hard enough to achieve it. Training is two weeks in a classroom setting, then you're on the floor doing the job, your manager and peers are within an arm reach to help you. They won't let you drown, the training is on going with perfectly time courses. It wasn't until the other day I had realized how much it helped me that the training was organized the way it was ! starting with being too overwhelming ! This opportunity has also given my bilingual status a new meaning, with not many Spanish speaking Loan Officers in the industry. I view this as a golden opportunity to help my culture become 1st time homeowners, while providing a full understanding of a complex transaction. It brings me great joy to hear my borrowers thank me for being in my position, because they are no longer intimidated by the process. If you're a slacker or mediocre and just want a paycheck, then don't waste your time nor a slot here at MLOA !! If you're a hardworking, and have a will to win ! this is your place. If you're a bilingual, please stay away - this is a horrible place for you !! just kidding .. more the merrier !! lol Es la mejor compania en la ciudad, y la pontencial es lo maximo para un professional bilingue ! Cuenta con mucho trabajo y mucho potencial para ganar un ingreso alto !

Cons

There's isn't any ! if I were to say one thing ... They officially don't celebrate taco Tuesdays lol

Because most people work remote, sometimes it can be hard to meet immediately to chat.

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.
