Pros

Benefits, snacks, ping pong, office view, pay at the beginning, however declined the longer you work there.

Cons

Obnoxious loud work environment. You are expected to produce at a high level, however you are punished and ridiculed for staying late.

“Thank you for your feedback, we take the content of these replies seriously and evaluate your input for opportunities to improve. Our Sales team, located in downtown Seattle, still enjoys all the perks you noted and finds the energy and transparency of the open floor plan to be motivating and creates comraderie between the teams. I’m sorry you found it to be noisy, I’ll note we haven’t had a Sales team in Bellevue for over a year. We value work/life balance and our reps are successful keeping regular business hours.” Doug Slotkin VP, Local Ad Sales

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.
