Pros

There's wonderful employees and overall great teams.

Cons

With the merger came a lack of honestly, transparency and integrity from our senior execs. We were assured these moves that Apollo is now taking would happen and they've created a horrible environment for employees. The overall morale of staff is the worst I've seen, people are jumping off the ship before the ship goes down with the captain and the culture of the organization went from family to foes. CareerBuilder always highlighted our great benefits as a reason to justify lower wages, but now that our benefits have been reduced horribly, work/life balance is a thing of the past and the business not growing, this is a scary time for anyone to join this organization. I was so proud to call them my employer and now I'm filled with feelings of betrayal, anger and disappointment. They still aren't telling us the truth and rather than giving us the respect and ability to start looking for new jobs, they're overworking the ones who are still employed and stringing us along to do the work until they're ready to let us go too. Meanwhile, they're not getting any businesses to sign up with us or renew with us, which negatively impacts the volume of revenue coming in.

Pros

Working for CB was one of the greatest experiences in my life. Before the acquisition by Apollo, it was truly amazing. Great culture, visionary products, solid overall pay/benefits and amazing operations leaders.

Cons

What can I say...Apollo quickly turned the company into crap. Massive layoffs, reduced benefits, and created a culture of fear and backstabbing. I witnessed senior leaders literally throw loyal employees under the bus in order to save themselves from layoffs. It's going to get worse before it possibly gets better.

Pros

- We have a lot of products (too many to fully learn about) - Meetings lots of internal meetings that make the day go by

Cons

I don't know what my quota is... I've asked my manager and VP: no response or they don't even know. To-date, however, its gone up triple since the day I started without any cushion to my salary. Less than 5 people hit their quota. Less than 10% of the company has been here more than a year... everyone quits, fast. As for my book of business... the quota and metrics they hold you too are absolutely delusional. No one can explain to me how to make it longer than a year. People quit all the time. People go months... even whole quarters without being able to sell something.
