Pros

great start up mentality. awesome perks. primo location. everything is fun all the time outside of your grind. this of course was 2 years ago.

Cons

the turnover rate is very depressing. it is hard to stay focused when people are vanishing left and right. if you can handle that, and you can sell, you can be very happy.

My name is Doug Slotkin and I run the Inside Sales organization - I likely interacted with you a couple of years ago when you were at Zillow. The training, to your point, has improved in terms of duration, breadth of content and amount of ongoing support we provide to new sales people. The turnover rate is absolutely something we are working to improve and actually, it has improved since you left Zillow. In terms of fun, the majority of the 250 sales people at Zillow are seeing some level of success - many folks earning well into six figures - These folks would tell you that in addition to the perks and great office spaces, there's one major driver which keeps sales people happy at Zillow: They are proud to represent a product that works so well for so many agents/brokers and one that has helped them develop big books of business over the years.

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.
