Pros

Some nice people Nice office Free snacks

Cons

This company has no idea what it's doing. It's hiring as many loan officers as it can, and forcing them to fight for leads that aren't even remotely serious in purchasing. The good leads are funneled to agents based on bias (brokerages prefer to send their business to people based on physical appearance, gender, etc) and Zillow oversees and allows all of it. Recruiting and management will lie to you about advancement opportunities and changes. They'll pull the rug out from under you once you have traction and force you to work in a new market that's suffering, regardless of the implications to you or your family. They also force you to work 7 days a week.

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.
