Pros

For me, this job has been a life changing experience. I started at the Trulia office in San Francisco and moved to Irvine during the merger. I was unsure that I was making the right decision but I am SO glad I did! I never thought I could be apart of such a huge company and still feel important and supported by smart, talented leaders.They have an open door policy that they actually live by! Not only does this company treat their employees better than any job I've had before (the benefits are crazy good) they take care of the clients and are constantly coming up with new and innovative ways to help real estate agents grow their business by delivering the best product in this industry, hands down. And not to mention, the happy hours, team events, trips to Seattle for our holiday party - all icing on the cake. I am honored to be apart of this company and hope to have a very, very long career here.

Cons

typical of any sales job, its a competitive grind but if you love the thrill of a sale and will work hard to get it, then you will love it.

Very collaborative team, encouraging team members and managers. Great experience overall.

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.
