Pros
Careerbuilder definitely has some really talented people who still work there. However, slowly but surely the good people are leaving.
Cons
Where to begin? Careerbuilder definitely needed some change however, this isn’t the right change. The problem is the site just doesn’t perform the way it once did. Instead of trying to bring traffic to the site to yield a better ROI to retain and attract new clients, we are hit with a quota that really isn’t obtainable. Our clients can see we are struggling. In a sales meeting, Sasha literally told us If we continued to operate the way we were, we were on the verge to close our doors by end of 2019. (Not really motivating to stay). With the new comp plan, they really screwed everyone not only with raising quotas by 5x but also putting in that you need to be the original signer is an agreement to get revenue credit on it. With the turnover rates the way they are they know reps would have to work months and sometimes years on this account before you actually get credit for it. They expect us to upsell clients and submit new contracts. Problem with this is not everyone wants to do this. So if you have that situation guess what, you’re working for free on that account. They took away benefits like presidents club (they brought it back for this year but let’s be honest about 2% will actually qualify just because they got lucky and brought in a big background check deadline), wellness benefit, 401k match (which is based on ebita now), half day fridays etc. it’s just not enjoyable to work here anymore. Apollo, Irina and Sasha only care about inflating the books to make Careerbuilder look more profitable than what it is so Apollo can sell the company.
