Horrible Company

Pros

They brought pack presidents club (but made quotas unattainable so don't get excited)

Cons

Apollo buying CB is the worst thing that ever happened. All they care about is showing profitability and have now CUT EMPLOYEES PAY to pretend like they are more profitable. NO ONE is happy. People have lives and children and mortgages outside of work that require a certain amount of money and they had NO PROBLEM telling everyone they won't be making half as much as they did the year before. They tried to sway it by making crazy unrealistic quotas that IF you hit, which you won't, you could be making X. This is insane! You're about to lose the rest of the talented people that you've somehow convinced to stay through your false promises. Why would you make people responsible for your clients unhappy? None of us want to work here anymore, let alone continue to convince clients to pay you when we likely won't see a dime from it.

Directionless Company

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

A steady paycheck twice a month, easy to attain bonuses(depending on which team you are on)

Cons

Terrible leadership, lack of tenure both vertically and horizontally, base salary is well below market rate. Management is in desperation mode because turn over has been so absurdly high, most new people leave within 3 months. Training and professional development is basically non-existent. "Managers" are a joke, none of the for the most part have any business acumen nor any measurable ability to coach their subordinates. Almost any job would be better than this one.

Pros

None! l can't think of any.

Cons

too relaxed of an environment, employees come to work like they just got out of work. Leaders are terrible they just don't care but love to show power with a bad attitude and giving side eyes. especially women in this role. if they employ someone more educated or managerial experience than the leader of the team, you will get framed by the leader with professional jealousy and with their strong interpersonal relationship within the company you won't be able to do anything. BESt stay away. CareerBuilder had lost its reputation a long time ago and it is getting worse. They lie to you about job descriptions and it is vital for the newcomers if they have specific career goals especially in IT. For example, it seems they do not know the difference between customer service and proper tech support/test.
