Pros

If you have the right book of business, you can make good money

Cons

I was lucky to join CB as an entry-level sales rep in 2014. My how the place has changed. The new leadership has no idea what they're doing, but that would be fine if the product was good. The fact is, no one wants to address the issue right in the face... the product sucks. CareerBuilder was so focused on building it's SaaS business, that it took its eye off it's core competency. Indeed and LinkedIn swept in and now dominate the ads and search space, and CB didn't make the right investments/product developments elsewhere. Ultimately, no one is going to buy an average-at-best ATS from a company that's known for being a crappy job board.

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.
