Pros

Insurance is decent Base pay is alright, above livable wage Great people in sales; genuinely funny and nice Modern office

Cons

The quota is too high The price of the software is too high When I demo this software it glitches out, so it's trash like the company C Levels dont acknowledge you when you say hi The training is a week long for a position that requires you to have knowledge on 30 products, web demonstrate software, understand rules of engagement and to understand everything about your position The constant initiative is to hire more and more people train them for a week and then split them up to maybe a good manager or a manager that has no business being a leader. Its absolutely laughable at this point that a company called CareerBuilder doesn't take time to build their own employees careers.

CB is truly dead

Pros

I’d like to thank Apollo and Irina for absolutely NOTHING

Cons

The acquisition by Apollo in late 2017 marked the death of CB. Cost cutting. Culture destruction. Hemorrhaging of top talent. Irina and crew have ruined what was an amazing company and she did it fast. Irina truly deserves her embarrassing 16% approval rating. (I’m shocked it’s not lower). She, and Apollo, have destroyed the lives of hundreds (500+) employees who gave decades of loyal and committed service...all for penny’s on the dollar. The old CareerBuilder philosophy was "employees are a company's most valuable asset." The new Apollo/Irina philosophy is "employees are a toxic and cancerous expense on our balance sheet and should be cut quickly and cruelly." Thanks for nothing! Hope you can continue to afford your designer shoes and expensive cars while the rest of us now pinch penny’s to provide food for our kids. Hope you one day see the damage you have done to great people like us. We have very real families to feed and very real bills to pay...but guess you don’t care.

Pros

Have invested in some solid technology. Good people (Frontline) and friendships.

Cons

The only people left in leadership are those that sold their souls to the devil and proved that they will put Irinas requests before the well being of the employees. But profitability has tanked. So there’s that! They removed all perks like wellness, strong 401k match, and trips that motivated people. While technology is strong, the core of what they sell is people.... and that has tanked. Which makes the technology useless. Sales people are scared to demo the product due to lack of results. It’s sad really! At the end of the day- this company has turned into a place that does not care about their people. And that is what made careerbuilder strong for so many years prior.
