Pros

Worked at CareerBuilder for about 13 months. The people you work with and meet are awesome. I’ve made some life time friendships here. The managers (some not all) care about your success and will do everything they can to help you succeed.

Cons

Micro- Managing at times can be a little too much. Products don’t work and customers call in and complain Lots of people here don’t believe in the product like they used to anymore APOLLO: Because of Apollo, what once was a great place to work is now a wasteland of empty desks. Ever since Apollo took over, the morale of the employees has dwindled down to being basically non-existent. There is no longer a clear career path for anyone. They are dissolving groups/verticals who made the company a LOT of money to cut costs so they don’t have to pay out commission anymore. They changed the commission structure and on top of that retroactively TOOK AWAY money from their sales reps from deals that already have been sold..... (WHAT?!) talk about a slap in the face. If you want to establish a career here just remember you’re just a number and if you don’t perform they’ll see you to the door in a matter of months. The first kid in my hiring class was booted less than 60 days into the job.

Pros

The people that still work there are pretty good folks.

Cons

Management has been foggy with details around our company vision. Lots of random rounds of layoffs.

Pros

I've been here for several years and this company has 100% changed my life, both personally and professionally. The acquisitions and innovative new product releases are incredible, disruptive technologies in human capital. I've stayed here because I believe in the solutions and the impact they make for our clients.

Cons

It's a shame that the momentum and excitement that should be felt around our solutions are being overshadowed by a huge shift in company culture and employee morale. Since the acquisition, they have reduced benefits and perks, 401K matching, award trips etc. There is a very negative vibe across the salesforce that's hard to ignore.
