Pros

Met some of my greatest friends and used to be amazing before Apollo, Irina and Sasha took the helm. Great sales training and inclusion before Apollo, Irina and Sasha.

Cons

They don’t care about the employees only the bottom line. They think CB is is bees knees and if a company doesn’t want CB it’s the sales teams fault. Products constantly fail. There are so many internal problems and roadblocks sales can’t get their jobs done. Comp plan is completely unattainable, books not reflective of what is needed, moving quotas, it’s a constant state of fear you will be fired. Great sales people are leaving left and right shows things are a disaster. No more/minimal tenure left at company.

Pros

The company is doing the necessary things to try and kick into growth mode and to fix operational problems that existed for years. Things move quickly, so it’s a great place to learn by doing.

Cons

CareerBuilder moved from an employee-focused company to profit-at-all-costs virtually overnight. Most leaders became overworked, stressed, irritated jerks, and everyone feels disposable. No clear message from senior leaders on how to fix problems in a long term way, so many are left wondering about the future. Don't work here unless very desperate.

Pros

Do you like politics or the wild wild west?

Cons

You will be paid under market value, promotions are very political and causes resentment with staff. The culture is toxic and people have been quitting/ fired/ laid off in the thousands since Apollo took over. This caused a massive brain drain, extreme inefficiencies and mismanagement of products (in some cases a complete stop to positive product development). Remaining staff were left with double the workload and clients, driving low quality deliveries. In favor of crunching the numbers, CB is hiring inexperienced and entry level people, for positions that previously required 3-5 years of experience. Lastly, there's almost no diversity, mostly middle class Caucasian Americans.
