AMAZING benefits. Great culture, Fun workspace. Great people. Unparalleled senior leadership.
I could say more, but let me just give you one example of the company putting their money (lots of it) where their mouth is:
For the holiday party, the company has offered to provide a ride home or hotel room for every single employee. They insist that none of us are on the road after the party. Some companies say they care about their team. This one proves it time after time.
Cons
Company cons: not many.
Job-specific cons: High stress, tons of calls, high expectations.
(But here's the thing- they VERY CLEARLY outline this in the hiring process, and if you take the job knowing this and then act surprised, that's a you problem)

Thank you for the great review! I hope you had as great a time at the 2013 holiday party as I did. Sounds like you did!
I'm glad you're having a good experience here, and it only gets better in sales. Once you have even more clients in your book of business, you start to realize that you're making a difference in their lives and it stops feeling like "selling" and starts feeling like "helping", which it is.
Thank you for being at Zillow!
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.
