Pros

You will meet some pretty cool people, very diverse company with women in leadership and management roles.

Cons

I started with CareerBuilder in 2019 when they were on a hiring spree. I was apprehensive about a position with this company after reading reviews before but after speaking with my manager I felt at ease. I really loved my team and we were doing great and the. COVID hit. I’m not talking about furloughs or layoffs because the market dictated that. What I will talk about is how they treated me. After Covid they switched us over to being paid on a renewal percentage as opposed to commission on new sales, this was in an attempt to retain business in the down market, very understandable. So I had a super high renewal rate the first two months, I was re-signing clients like crazy and felt really good about it. Then my first bons check was $0. How could this happen? They had put two accounts in my name; one had left two months before it was in my name, and the other had already given the verbal that they were leaving our ATS system a month before I got the account. They even had an early opt out clause in their contract. When I started, all renewals were through CSM’s, so even if they had been in my name before it wasn’t in my job description to renew them. For three months I was strung along and told my case was “under review” and ultimately was told that there were no exceptions whatsoever. So basically they got months of me working towards renewals for base pay, which isn’t that competitive. Basically screwing me out of 25% of my expected income. On top of that, Sasha and Irina act like they care about their employees. They hold weekly meetings and do that fake corporate fun stuff in the guise of team building, but at the end of the day, they are both morally bankrupt. Also, their product isn’t that great. Indeed and LinkedIn eat their lunch.

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.
