Pros

- Finding a new job feels really great when it happens - praised be! - There are bars close by - you will need them - be safe and take public transportation. - It’s fun to do nothing but proactively work to work elsewhere all day and get paid by CareerBuilder to do it. The irony is sweet. - Being miserable together isn’t all bad; I’ve seen some hilarious Instagram posts about depression and they'll help you laugh through the pain.

Cons

Oh CB - where do I even begin? You know what, I’ll start with the fact that I can’t even believe I’m wasting more time talking about this sad, dying, has-been, stupid, valueless, unimportant once great company literally packed with pathetic men and women who continuously pretend every day like everything is fine; worse so, they act like things are great - not a joke. They say things are “changing” and “shifting” and that they’re being “disruptive.” Do they actually believe this? I can’t. Alas, people need to know the truth. The only thing being disrupted at CareerBuilder are the employees. Irina, aka real deserving sharpshooter, is the COO. Girl, who gave you a megaphone to march around the office with? When I heard that was the latest sitch' happening, I was almost surprised. In what world is that an appropriate thing to do? That is so remarkably embarrassing and degrading and you owe your employees an apology. Also, who told you to wear a power suit and Christian Louboutins to work every day - was that you? lol I bet it was. No, do you girl - it makes everyone think you’re super cool and fashionable - so much taste. But honestly, who do you think you are? People on Glassdoor reading this - the COO literally stumbled around the office shouting demands through a megaphone whilst also sounding off a siren. Yes, that happened… in 2018. Ever since she came to CareerBuilder things have plummeted into an unidentifiable darkness. Newsflash - to every leader at CareerBuilder; everything is not okay. You know it - your employees know it, your competitors know it. Also, your customers can read so they know it now too. Your publicly despicable and womanizing sales leaders should be fired for the sexual misconduct they’ve been accused of. You know the ones. They should have been fired years ago when all the sexual harassment was actually happening. I have girlfriends that have felt this sexual misconduct themselves and were too afraid to ever say anything in fear they’d be fired or worse, that nothing would come of it - how embarrassing. Finally, you have an opportunity to do the right thing - you should do it. I, along with many other men and women and families will be heartbroken if you do nothing. Matt Ferguson, do the right thing.

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.
