Pros

The benefits are ver nice. Compared to other places, you will be very happy in that regard. The atmosphere is also pretty nice. And what I mean by that is, its almost like an extension of college. Everyone there is a a year or so removed from college. Maybe 95% of everyone is 25 and under in the sales positions, so obviously you have a lot of people to meet and extend your network. The problem is though that obvously always working with people so young can lead to an immature environment as well. If you are social, you will enjoy that aspect.

Cons

CareerBuilder is a luck based job. No matter how talented you are, you have to either be lucky enough to be on the right team when you start or lucky enough to fall into someone who is ready to buy when you contact them. I have worked at CareerBuilder for a year and for a company that experiences over 133% turnover on a yearly basis that is an accomplishment. And I can tell you in my time, I have never sold anyone who was not ready to buy regardless of what your team leads tell you. CareerBuilder does not promote the right people into managemenr which is one of their biggest problems. They discourage the bunch by the people the promote.

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.
