Pros

The few that remain are amazing people & workers. This is a company where you will actually love who you work with directly.

Cons

A ton of people have left. Work has piled up for those remaining, expectations are high, and there have been zero incentives to motivate anyone to keep going. Just take a look at the rating trends since Apollo acquired CB late 2017. To me, the environment was toxic and negative. Executive leadership only appears to care about profit, rather than treating employees like actual people. I think Irina running the company is a joke. In my opinion, she does not seem to have a clue as to how a technology company should operate.

Pros

It used to be great.

Cons

Today is Jan 25, 2018, and there is no compensation plan for salespeople. That's right, we don't know how we're getting paid this year and the month is nearly over. CSO announced last summer that the comp plan would be completely re-done for 2018 which is fine. Our plans are annual and it is OK to expect changes especially with the new products we offer. But that has to be announced and should have been in 2017. Most of the year-long contracts for 2018 were signed in Nov-Dec. '17 or Jan. '18 meaning we had no opportunity to ensure we'll be hitting whatever sales goals and requirements are set. The only thing we know is that it's a complete overhaul of how we were always paid until this year. This is unacceptable. CB reps get a monthly commission, paid last day of month on prior month's sales. In six days, Jan will close and we are completely in the dark on how we're getting paid. We all have families to feed, but Apollo doesn't care, their sole concern is maximizing profit margin during the short period they'll own CB before selling it.

Pros

Absolutely nothing! A few years ago before Apollo took over it was a great place to work.

Cons

I understand some changes needed to be made but Apollo has gutted CB. The products don’t work and everyone responsible for launching them in the first place are long gone. Morale is terrible, the culture is horrible, almost all the great Reps and Leaders have left and many more will be gone soon. The CEO is delusional or a liar and the CSO has no idea what she is doing. If anyone actually accepts an offer after reading all the negative reviews on GD, they are being lied to or are desperate for a job.
