Pros

The people, that is it.

Cons

I wish I would have read these reviews before I accepted the job. For the love of your sanity, read them before accepting any offer. I recently just started a different sales role and it is mind blowing how a sales role should be and what this company can get away with doing to their employees. If you absolutely must accept the role, make sure you are put in Staffing and Recruiting, the only vertical that sees success. CareerBuilder has announced proudly on every platform how they hired over 100 people in a 3 month span. The reality is CareerBuilder doesn't have the bandwidth to adequately train and help these new hires, so instead every sales person feels unappreciated (like cattle) and in return losing not only those new hires but the tenured talent that actually knows what they are doing. The quotas are extremely unattainable outside of Staffing and Recruiting (4% MAYBE). They will not take responsibility for this except to make excuses by showing examples of success, from again, Staffing and Recruiting. I cannot say enough how discouraging this role was to every aspect of my life. I gave 110% to this position and after I was told "Your work ethic means nothing if we don't see numbers" I knew it was time to look for another position, best thing I ever did. Again, know your worth and go with another option.

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.
