Pros

This is a great company to work for. If you're good and exceed your quota each month, the sales positions pay well. Spencer the CEO is awesome, very open about the company and has always given the sales guys what we'very asked for. Examples being standing desks, Frozen Yogurt machines and most recently quota relief during the recent merger. It's a fun place to work, I work my 8 hours, raid the free food and drinks, and rally home.

Cons

It can be a grind. Making 80-100 calls a day can wear down even the most motivated salesperson.

Thanks for taking the time to give feedback on your time in Inside Sales at Zillow - It's great to hear how much you like your job! In regards to Skynet, the homegrown system we've built to help identify the best sales opportunities, it absolutely is a work in process - as we speak, we are working diligently to improve the interface, provide our people with additional tools and improve the dashboard to include additional data points. Stay tuned for new iterations, many of which are a direct result of feedback given to us by the sales team. Doug Slotkin VP, Local Ad Sales

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).
