CareerBuilder reviews

You use to want to get up, get to the office and get after it! Unfortunately, over the past couple of years, all I can say is wow. This company has become very micromanaged. Even if you are doing everything you needed to (with the crappy accounts you are given), you better make sure you hit your dials and your talk time or else, you are now a failure. In result, you are getting put on plan. Most, if not all, of these metrics are completely insane and everyone still knows that upper management pulls them out of nowhere. Gets me to my next point: THE “LEADERS”!! These leaders (managers, directors, vps included) that are running the different Sales zones (minus Brandon Casteel) bring ZERO value to their teams. NONE of them have ever done ANYTHING they are asking the reps to do besides maybe sell jobs postings back in the day when that’s all CB offered. They have never shown the reps how they would sell new CB software products / shown an actual pitch whether role play or live with a client or were ever held accountable for the crazy metrics they are putting in place. In addition, it is pretty comical when it comes to the people these leaders would just hand over titles to. It doesn’t matter what kind of effort you put in year after year (even with the unrealistic quotas), be in the top 20% company wide and the next thing you know, someone who has been with the company for less than a year, has never been a sales rep, gets handed a sales title HIGHER than you and is now making more money than you. The best part about this is, these people getting handed these roles have not earned anything. AT ALL. EVER! What a joke. Honestly, the only reason I am writing this is to save people possibly looking to work for CB. Don’t waste your time. I feel bad hearing from old collegues and I can’t wait for them to make the jump too as they are interviewing, GRASS is certainly greener now.

High turnover. Unobtainable quotas. Micromanaging.
