Pros

CareerBuilder started out to be a fantastic company. Really exciting place to be, they fly you out to Chicago for training. Wellness was $400 a year which was nice. My managers have always been amazing; however, the leadership is the worst thing here.

Cons

Leadership is absolutely TERRIBLE here. They treat you with 0 respect and like a child. They have these unrealistic expectations for metrics (expect to work in a call center) where you have to dial 400 people a month or 8 hours of talk time a week. Commission here is also capped. I know someone who sold a $500, 0000 deal and didn't get paid a single cent on it. You do NOT get rewarded for hard work here. They haven't promoted anyone since January 2016. They made 16 people interview for one spot for a promotion and gave it to no one!!! The company is very poorly performing and as a result has had multiple layoffs. Over 300 sales people have left this organization within the past year. 300. I can't even begin to tell you how messed up this place is. One month they overpaid us and then the following month, took it out of our paychecks without an official announcement. WHO DOES THAT

Pros

You will meet some pretty cool people, very diverse company with women in leadership and management roles.

Cons

I started with CareerBuilder in 2019 when they were on a hiring spree. I was apprehensive about a position with this company after reading reviews before but after speaking with my manager I felt at ease. I really loved my team and we were doing great and the. COVID hit. I’m not talking about furloughs or layoffs because the market dictated that. What I will talk about is how they treated me. After Covid they switched us over to being paid on a renewal percentage as opposed to commission on new sales, this was in an attempt to retain business in the down market, very understandable. So I had a super high renewal rate the first two months, I was re-signing clients like crazy and felt really good about it. Then my first bons check was $0. How could this happen? They had put two accounts in my name; one had left two months before it was in my name, and the other had already given the verbal that they were leaving our ATS system a month before I got the account. They even had an early opt out clause in their contract. When I started, all renewals were through CSM’s, so even if they had been in my name before it wasn’t in my job description to renew them. For three months I was strung along and told my case was “under review” and ultimately was told that there were no exceptions whatsoever. So basically they got months of me working towards renewals for base pay, which isn’t that competitive. Basically screwing me out of 25% of my expected income. On top of that, Sasha and Irina act like they care about their employees. They hold weekly meetings and do that fake corporate fun stuff in the guise of team building, but at the end of the day, they are both morally bankrupt. Also, their product isn’t that great. Indeed and LinkedIn eat their lunch.
