Pros

CareerBuilder started out to be a fantastic company. Really exciting place to be, they fly you out to Chicago for training. Wellness was $400 a year which was nice. My managers have always been amazing; however, the leadership is the worst thing here.

Cons

Leadership is absolutely TERRIBLE here. They treat you with 0 respect and like a child. They have these unrealistic expectations for metrics (expect to work in a call center) where you have to dial 400 people a month or 8 hours of talk time a week. Commission here is also capped. I know someone who sold a $500, 0000 deal and didn't get paid a single cent on it. You do NOT get rewarded for hard work here. They haven't promoted anyone since January 2016. They made 16 people interview for one spot for a promotion and gave it to no one!!! The company is very poorly performing and as a result has had multiple layoffs. Over 300 sales people have left this organization within the past year. 300. I can't even begin to tell you how messed up this place is. One month they overpaid us and then the following month, took it out of our paychecks without an official announcement. WHO DOES THAT

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
