Pros

Great office. Fairly good benefits.

Cons

I had a bad experience leading to me to decide to be resign. When I got pregnant, I worked with HR and got permission to take an additional 3 months unpaid in addition to the 4 months they give you paid. When I got to 8 months pregnant I was told there was a re-org. They decided to pull me off my job, but they would find something for me when I got back from maternity. In addition to this, when I was less than 2 weeks from my due date I was told by HR that they would not be allowing me to take the additional unpaid time. This is despite having it in written in email that I was given permission to have the time unpaid. Not knowing what I would be doing when I returned and being suddenly told that I could not take the unpaid time I was counting on lead me to resign. I loved this company. I am still a little heartbroken about how I was treated.

I am so sorry that you felt unfairly treated. We have worked hard to put a generous parental leave policy in place and manage it clearly and consistently. When it comes to unpaid leaves we work with the employee, their physician, and the business to understand how we can meet the needs of everyone involved. Our policies are available to all employees to access on our intranet. I would appreciate the chance to learn more about your experience so we can make any needed improvements please reach out to me at dans@zillowgroup.com .

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.
