Pros

Working for Zillow offers the employee some job stability. That is all dependant on which department you work in. For eligible employees, the employee benefits are decent, at best. For someone who is looking for benefits, these are better than no benefits.

Cons

I feel, working for Zillow is a dead end job. There is very little room for growth. Again, that does depend on, who you work for, rather than ones competancy. The pay scales need to be re-evaluated. There are much better paying jobs in the same industry. The company requires long hours, not a job for someone who wants to have free time to spend with their family.

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your candor, and I want to be able to improve Zillow based on your feedback. Unfortunately there isn't enough info in here to really help, other than that you think comp is too low. I wish I knew what group you were in, and other info that can help me evaluate and investigate this. If you want to email me anonymously, you can do it via the ZillowTalkBlog inside our intranet wiki.

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.
