Pros

Life work balance was great (for me). Benefits we're good too...but being cut. People are great, but with new owners in company the good people are being laid off.

Cons

Low pay, they are not transparent, no real direction in company. Constant change ....They don't seem to stick with anything

Pros

Amazing coworkers, benefits are decent

Cons

9/27/17 They laid off about 120 people All sales numbers were messed up and sales people had been trying to get them corrected for months because we weren't being paid as much as we should have been. It took them over 6 months to get it fixed but never got trued up for the money that was owed. There is no vision for where the company is going. Jack of all trades. Master of None. CareerBuilder acquired all of these companies and dipped their toe in every pool yet they are not the best in any category anymore CB used to be a great place to work but it is not any longer so I would not suggest working here. Culture has been completely lost and most employees are leaving.

Pros

On a lower level, the day to day colleagues are great

Cons

-No future for the company -Private equity aims to make the company appear profitable in order to sell pieces off - they way they do this is inflating sales and cutting salaries. The president and CEO don’t seem to care about the company and employees, but rather the agenda of their owners in private equity -Pay is very low compared to market -The product could be good, but there are few developers left to deliver on the vision and fix all the broken parts -expectations are unrealistic for sales and success -culture is toxic, people are operating out of fear and anyone that made it through layoffs is actively looking for a company and leaders that will treat them better -company is losing customers because applicants find better results on other job platforms
