Pros

remote work and time off are about it

Cons

zillow has more layers of useless middle management than an onion. my team has an extreme micro management issue that makes it hard to get work done. pay sucks because they know they can hire easily due to being fully remote. raises are a joke for most non-tech jobs. performance rating system is so behind the times. people seem to get fired or laid off easily. my experience here has been bad ever since the interviews. health benefits got reduced even though the company could afford to not do that and the cpo blamed employees for going to the doctor too much. everyone here is either quietly coasting or working themselves into the ground to make up for the coasters. i only work here out of desperation for a job which is what they seem to bank on but i question if its even worth the toll on my mental health at this point.

Because most people work remote, sometimes it can be hard to meet immediately to chat.

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.
