There used to be a lot of pros, now I can’t think of one.

Cons

-Changed bonus for the worse. -No raise for doing multiple jobs, because people quit or were laid off. -No appreciation of hard work, often working long hours with no breaks. -Mega favoritism. -0 career pathing. -No future.

Pros

I had a good couple years in the beginning. I learned useful information about sales and software.

Cons

CEO is incompetent with respect to tech and flat out has terrible taste. She's extremely unqualified for the role. She is a half way decent actress. She'll berate people and put on quite a show the week before she fires them. She brought in one of her best friends into upper management who is equally incompetent. Nepotism at its finest. Classy Apollo. I wonder how much she and Apollo will make off the sale of Careerbuilder and its assets.

Pros

- good benefits -your check will clear - you will build solid relationships. Like if you served in conflict...the stress level will enable you to bond with your teammates like you've never thought possible. - no use in thinking. You will be told what to do, say, and so on. regardless of the customer scenario. -only people hanging on are for money. not a good environment to have no one care.

Cons

leadership. Some one wrote a post earlier how some of the specific leaders are just horrible. Yes, they are not funny and have zero sense that people are literally afraid and terrified of them. However, they have zero clue of how to help. Most accounts are in a bad spot, reps need their leaders more than ever. Yet, leaders wont accept an open conversation about reality. EVERYTHING IS NOT THE REPS FAULT! A rep isnt bad if they cant sell a 8 year contract, or background checks. The reps want to win as much as you do, why do you treat them like idiots? The HC group is notorious for being a group of lies. All the reps are afraid to talk to the leaders, let alone tell them the truth of what customers are saying. Naturally it's the reps fault if a client is not happy. Also, be prepared to be lectured. Every chance HC leaders have they will stop any meeting to let everyone know what they would say, or what they did 8 years ago when they sold to car dealerships. SRG, this is the bro group. Your stress will be lower in this group, but you will have a harder time proving value. So while it will be cool to be led by bros, your pay check will feel it when it's hard to sell against GD, Indeed, or Zip. Enterprise.....good luck there. Ultimately lead by the "el chapo boys". This group is losing everyone. Irina.....ha
