      Key Account Exeutive

      Key account executive

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work/ Life Balance, Comp, Vacation Time, Work. from Home. Learn many different industries. Huge product set so you have a lot of opportunity within each account.

      Cons

      New ownership created a cost cutting culture that hasn’t stabilized. Change is constant, new executive leaders are inexperienced and the loss of talent is impacting every department. They haven’t figured out how to incentivize retention and eliminated once valued sales rewards like the President’s trip. New processes are creating bottlenecks and fear is the new motivation tactic.

      Impossible to Sell A Product That Doesn't Actually Work

      National account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I worked for CareerBuilder for almost 5 years. They gave me my start in the sales world. I am grateful for the people I met and the skills they gave me.

      Cons

      However, over the last 2.5 years, the company has run into issues because their products DO NOT WORK. Your main job as a sales rep for the organization is to continue to grow your book of business. However, if you are lucky enough to bring in a new customer, your problems really start then. CareerBuilder will promise their technology is industry leading, however, their job postings fail 100% of the time. Their ATS cannot compete with the leaders in the space, and they continue to drop the ball when it comes to innovation. If you are considering a sales career with CareerBuilder, I would highly reconsider.

      Pros

      It used to be all the people but 99% of those people are gone.

      Cons

      When I started in 2013 I thought I found my dream job. The people were amazing, managers cared about their reps, pay was great, we had a great reputation in the industry, great perks including trip and outings, half day Fridays all summer etc. That is ALL gone. When Apollo bought them out, it all changed. The morale is lower than my high school summer job flipping burgers. Irina and Anthony only care about the bottom line, they could not care any less about the employees. What's funny is that if you look up the Glassdoor reviews from the past company they ran into the ground, they are exactly the same. Upper management only cares about bottom line, don't care about employees, cuts left and right etc. I am glad I got out when I did and strongly encourage those still there to leave and those considering applying to not.
