Pros

I was super nervous when this acquisition between Mortech/Zillow went down but this seriously has to be one of the best places to work in country, let alone Lincoln NE. Perks Include: Game Rooms (Ping Pong, Shuffleboard, Video Games, Golf, Basketball) Catered Lunches (Every Wednesday and special occasions) Free snacks/drinks Laid Back Work Atmosphere (tunes playing through Sonos speakers all day) Great Benefits Work Outings that are really fun Great People Opportunity 2X a year to work on whatever you want to improve company/product Casual Dress Code Encouraged to email anyone from manager to CEO with anything you need

Cons

I'd love to see more accountability between departments, too many issues turn into a "he said she said" type conversations that can get frustrating not only to employees but our customers.

I can understand why many folks were worried about the acquisition when it originally happened, but I'm so glad you are really happy with where we ended up together. Zillow's mortgages business is much stronger with Mortech and Zillow Mortgages united. Thx for your feedback about cross department functionality - it's something Jason and Doug are already working on and we'd love any other input you have on how we could do better on that in particular. - Erin Lantz, VP Mortgages

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.
