What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
CareerBuilder doesn't have a great track record with many past customer. Additionally, the amount of advertising is dismal in comparison to our competitors.
Review from Sales Dept
Before the buyout in 2007, the focus was providing the customers with a product that delivered on its promises, and great attention was given to understanding each client's individual needs and selling them the products that would meet their particular needs. Go back to that. Rebuild customer trust
Review from Sales Dept
The product doesnt work and we cannot send reports
fix the culture. fix the lying, fix the comp plan, fix expectations
Review from Sales Dept
- Pay - below market even if they say "you're in the range"; pay increases are minimal so make sure to negotiate a high salary. - disciplined freedom value is misused causing confusion and inconsistent decision making - poor decision making on hires and promos some people shouldn't be in management

I enjoy the ability to work from home & we get a reasonable amount of time off.
