Pros

You need a time machine to revisit the pros

Cons

2 faced approach lead by Irina Novoselsky (if you want to call that leadership) cut the legs out from under the company in 2018. Short term meager profits outweigh lost talent that could have turned CB around in the long run.

Pros

I met cool people and made friends with them.

Cons

Apollo cleaned house and started stripping benefits. Poor decisions were made without consulting the employees who would be directly affected by said decisions (why? oh because they don't care about you or your voice.) Anthony Dupree (CIO post-Apollo acquisition) actually fabricated completely FALSE ACCUSATIONS against my team and I to try and make us look bad. I wish I was kidding. Every day there was spent putting out fires caused by management while trying to prove your worth so you wouldn't be laid off. At a certain point I realized I'd be doing a disservice to my career if I didn't leave that bad place. With so many people quitting/being laid off/fired, it has deteriorated into a cesspool of unhappy employees trying to pick up the pieces that were left behind by those who went on to work for better companies.

Pros

For the people still working at CB, that aren’t from Apollo, they’re the only part of what’s left to make anything good. Oh, and bagel Fridays.

Cons

Where do I start? With Apollo acquiring CB, so many employees were laid off and the work has become overwhelming. There is no work/life balance. No one gives a damn about your job or life. You’re a number so show up and be a number. There is no promotional path any longer. The benefits and perks are gone. We are paid less in our roles than any other company so why do we want to stick around? Bonuses are a thing of the past. I’m in the Customer Care group and we get paid worse than anyone else. Frankly, all of us are looking for jobs to jump ship.
