      A total pump and dump stock scam - Sales Executive Zillow Employee Review

      1.0
      Mar 8, 2017
      Sales executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Worked in New York office where most employees would come in high on drugs to work in the morning or slip out during lunch hour and come back reeking of pot. No advancement opportunity and long 12 hour days just cold calling non stop making 250 to 400 phone calls every day. Pressure to make 400 calls a day and over-sell to the real estate agents who are the target audience. Company really makes money on website ads not their actual product. Predicting bankruptcy very soon, stock is a heavy short. Worst CEO in the history of corporate America. Absolutely a slime pit.

      Cons

      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.
