      If they're telling you it's great, they're lying to your face

      Pros

      If you have the right book of business, you can make good money

      Cons

      I was lucky to join CB as an entry-level sales rep in 2014. My how the place has changed. The new leadership has no idea what they're doing, but that would be fine if the product was good. The fact is, no one wants to address the issue right in the face... the product sucks. CareerBuilder was so focused on building it's SaaS business, that it took its eye off it's core competency. Indeed and LinkedIn swept in and now dominate the ads and search space, and CB didn't make the right investments/product developments elsewhere. Ultimately, no one is going to buy an average-at-best ATS from a company that's known for being a crappy job board.

      Good things come to an end

      Major account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cannot complain about the friendships, mentors, growth, happy hours, awards dinners, recognitions, and the motivation to hustle. However, this is an example of hiring great employees and then not doing what you can to keep them around.

      Cons

      Too much change, too much whispering amongst leadership, too many politics, and the "OG" regime was in charge for far too long.

      The Worst Company I’ve EVER WORKED FOR!

      Pros

      I was paid on time and my health insurance worked.

      Cons

      Thanks to Apollo, the bonus structure is a complete joke. All of the perks that compensated for our extremely low pay were snatched right before our eyes. They’ve done away with: Summer Hours (work 36 hrs/week, but Paid for 40 hrs) Wellness Reimbursement ($400/yr) Annual Trip (Mexico trip for top performers) Common decency Career Pathing ...and this is to just naming few things. Massive lay-offs were one of the very first major events to happen. I used to see our old CEO (Matt Ferguson) around the office occasionally. He never acknowledged me when he was on his high horse, but recently he’s all about “hellos” and smiles. So glad that he got a taste of humble pie.
