Pros

It used to be great.

Cons

Today is Jan 25, 2018, and there is no compensation plan for salespeople. That's right, we don't know how we're getting paid this year and the month is nearly over. CSO announced last summer that the comp plan would be completely re-done for 2018 which is fine. Our plans are annual and it is OK to expect changes especially with the new products we offer. But that has to be announced and should have been in 2017. Most of the year-long contracts for 2018 were signed in Nov-Dec. '17 or Jan. '18 meaning we had no opportunity to ensure we'll be hitting whatever sales goals and requirements are set. The only thing we know is that it's a complete overhaul of how we were always paid until this year. This is unacceptable. CB reps get a monthly commission, paid last day of month on prior month's sales. In six days, Jan will close and we are completely in the dark on how we're getting paid. We all have families to feed, but Apollo doesn't care, their sole concern is maximizing profit margin during the short period they'll own CB before selling it.

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.
