Pros

Products aren’t the worse. If you can be satisfied living off base salary maybe this is for you.

Cons

Where to even begin. First thing they tell you when interviewing is everyone knows the CareerBuilder name and using brand recognition will help with sales. This is your first lie. Nobody uses CareerBuilder except the major companies with billions of dollars. People hit their quota. This is the second lie, maybe 5% of people hit quotas. Sales reps in the top 20 people of entire company are 1/3 of the way to quota. Aggressively hiring new people for sales, and some leave within a few weeks. Seeing new reps come in happy and excited only to quit or realize the mistake they made by being misled is just sad. There is no opportunity here for advancement or a stable career. When some of the most tenured people on the sales floor have been there less than a year, something is very wrong. Advise to look elsewhere unless you have nothing else. Would not recommend.

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.
