Pros

There used to be plenty of pros, but all of this went out the window when the company was purchased by Apollo. There was Culture, laughter, gatherings, team outings, parties,etc.... Now? none. Gone. Majority of the people that remain there now dread to go to work.

Cons

Almost all leadership. CareerBuilder is losing accounts left and right, and it's because of the direction that the company has been in and not being as good as the competition. However, it seems that all of the leaders want to blame the reps. The sales reps take the hit for everything. Through my time there, I did not see 1 Director get on a call to try and save an account. Instead, they waited until it fell through and punished the rep. I have been reading comments on here for quite some time now, and it seems that there have been a few "positive" comments posted lately. I am willing to bet that it is the leadership trying to convince people that this is a great place to be that way their team does not get dissolved and they actually have to do something..like.... save accounts. HR is also a complete nightmare. Trust me when I saw they could care less about the issues at the company, they will take the companies side and tell you "that's just how it is." There are a few comments on here about sexual Harassment that was reported, but nothing happened. This place is literally a joke and the laughing stock of the job market. If you're reading this on here considering working at CareerBuilder, just click the Jobs button and search for a new place and apply..

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.
