      Pros

      There are a handful of people still here that care and are trying to salvage the DISASTER that Irina and Sasha have created, but the clock is ticking.

      Cons

      I’ve lost track of how many comp plans I’ve had in just the last 2 years, but each one is worse than the last. They’ve given everyone absolutely unattainable quotas, we’re selling absolute garbage, and there is NOBODY willing to provide any kind of support for clients (or reps) when things inevitably go wrong. All of the leaders that had any relevant experience, respect in our industry, and a loyal following of people that trusted them to have our (and our clients’) best interests at heart have bailed.

      Pros

      The people you work with in the trenches

      Cons

      Apollo. Benefits ( none anymore). Pay ( not comparable to other companies ) , upward mobility does not exist ( and doesn’t matter bc pay doesn’t increase ) , renovation has everyone shoved in old desks in tight quarters , inexperienced vp sales leaders ( a couple of the sales leaders have only been entry level sales reps - but have made it up the ranks Bc they are loud - putting this nicely even though they do not treat their co workers with the same kindness ) , narrow leadership at the top now ( think trump administration ). If Careerbuilder sounds exciting to you bc of the industry , look elsewhere. A company should heed the advice we give our clients.

      This leadership team is the biggest joke

      Pros

      Seeing current leaders who still remain at CB coming onto this site in attempt to lie to any potential candidates and try to "disprove" the 90% of negative reviews has prompted me to leave a review. *PROS: no longer exist. There USED TO BE pros prior to 2018. Repeating from others who have listed the pros that have been diminished: 401K, summer hours, trip for top performers. The main pro is the peers you work with, they are a solid group of people who I have made lifelong friends with. The managers and culture that existed years ago was also a pro, but that is long gone.

      Cons

      LEADERSHIP - Anyone with a VP title is a joke. Their only job as been CB, they sold print advertising for 2 years (10 years ago) and the company has brought in ZERO outside talent to leadership. Can you name another company that does not hire any leadership from the outside? Directors ("VP's") on the enterprise and healthcare side of the business have no idea what is going on in their business and don't offer any help. When a big client does not renew they will yell and scream and accuse you of all of the things you did not do and sit back and tell you what you should have done instead of roll up their sleeves and help...you know, like good leaders do. These same leaders have had hundreds of strong sales people leave the company, lose millions in revenue and have dozens of these negative reviews on them and they are still working there.
