Pros

The biggest Pro are the people at CareerBuilder. Some of the best, most talented and fun are people I met while working at CareerBuilder. While a majority of them have moved on great people are still working at CB. If you are looking at reviews from over a year ago those Pros no longer exist. Things such as half day Fridays, 401k match (you have to make it through the year), promotions, open door policy with leadership (CB leaders are no longer leaders. Apollo is pulling the strings and leadership is just as much in the dark as the AE's) and top performer awards/trips are a few examples of Pro's that no-longer exist.

Cons

Honestly, I spent 6+ years at CareerBuilder and I LOVED the majority it. When things started to get really bad I left for a great new opportunity. I didn't write this review to bash CB but I want people to understand that CB is no longer running the show. Apollo is now in charge and if you read reviews of Apollo or companies that Apollo acquires you can see that the decline in culture and the was employees are treated tends to decline drastically.

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.
