Pros

This company works really hard to keep their employees happy. Between the snacks, happy hours, prizes and pep talks it is a fun place to work for. The CEO makes it a point to seem very involved in the sales team and I do like the managers. Compensation is fair if your are able to sell.

Cons

The company is great but the job sucks. It is not fun to sit on the phone all day and cold call agents who have been called a million times before by the same company. I have done inside sales before, and it was not this bad simply because selling to agents sucks. Zillow is successful and growing fast but it doesn't change the fact that the people you are selling to are tired of getting calls from Zillow. If you like cold calling this job could be good for you because the product probably does work... But it doesn't change the fact your calling the same agents who have been called 15 times before.

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
