Svantaggi

I have nothing bad to say about the work atmosphere or the pushy managers, I have no complaints about Quota , or daily call times, If you apply for a sales Job you should expect these things. My cons are about what I sold I was explained by the few original sales reps that are left that this product has changed dramatically and by inherited accounts the same story. I like sales that is how i pay the bills but I like to sell a product I believe in. Being that one of Zillow's founders own glassdoor this may not get published so we shall see. I will explain in vague way from my understanding there used to be limited availability to buy space on Zillow but in the time I have been here the claims have been made that traffic has grown so more space becomes available to they pick certain days to have everyone come in at 6 am and push that space. I have inherited quite a few accounts from previous employees (this seems to happen often it is fast moving revolving door here) the accounts i have taken over tell me they gets theses calls every other month or sometimes monthly and they have taken it a few times but have yet to see and increase in ROI they say the ROI gets worse as we do this? and no this has not happened once , i hear this from a lot of those accounts it is discouraging. The seasoned reps say tell them if they don't take it someone else will and it will get worse, I personally do not feel good threatening paying customers who seem to like the service and when I have tried that some agents have cancelled. I enjoy selling what I beleive works. Spencer Rascoff I have read your responses to negative feed back "I was bummed when i read this" and "that does not seem to be the majority of the feedback". Like I have said the job is not my complaint it is saturation of the product. There s no customer service for existing clients they call us in sales expect help we create a case and weeks can go by before something is done. I understand the logic on us fielding the cs so we can convert to sales (they always cancel btw) but paying customers are angry and managers are no help.

If I write "I was bummed to read this," I'll just be confirming your fear! LOL. Seriously though, you raise a good point which is that inventory constraints are a complaint among some of our existing advertisers; they want to buy more impressions from us, but sometimes they are unable to. We of course hope that as our traffic continues to grow, this problem will alleviate. And it is a good problem to have -- much better than the reverse, of course. I'm confused by your saying that there is no customer service for existing clients. We have a large listings support team and a large account management team. Maybe I am missing something or misunderstanding. If you ever want to send me specific anonymous feedback, you can do so through the Zillow Talk Blog (our internal blog). Thank you, Spencer

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

- 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).
