Pros

Fully stocked snacks, happy hours, amazing benefits, fun atmosphere

Cons

If you're not "in the club" with the right managers, life is extremely difficult. Play the games & befriend everybody quickly.

Thanks for taking the time to give feedback and sorry you feel the experience on our OC sales team wasn’t positive – we’ve worked hard to build a sales culture in Orange County that rewards those who drive results the right way. Zillow’s view on playing politics to advance is simple – we don’t tolerate it. If we have veered off course in this area, I would like to know specifics so we can fix it. Thanks – Doug Slotkin, VP Local Ad Sales - Dougs@zillow.com (206) 515-8236

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.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed perspective. We understand that frequent changes to roles, account ownership and business priorities can have a real impact on relationship-building and the day-to-day experience in sales. We’re glad to hear compensation was a positive part of your time at Zillow, and we appreciate you being candid about where the model and structure felt frustrating. Feedback like yours helps us better understand how these changes are experienced across teams as the business evolves.
