Clearlink reviews

If you're seeing high reviews for Clearlink here, it's because the CEO sends out emails asking employees to give high reviews on Glassdoor to help with recruiting efforts. My experience at Clearlink was so traumatizing that it's taken me some distance to craft a review of my time there. While there are plenty of negative reviews about working in sales at Clearlink (for valid reasons; avoid it at all costs), my experience stems from the corporate marketing side. Because its clients (like cable television companies, insurance companies, etc.) are being disrupted and put out of business, Clearlink is quickly approaching obsolescence. That means Clearlink is scrambling to remain relevant and becoming increasingly desperate. If you love misogyny and bro culture, you'll love it here--Clearlink is a toxic masculinity swamp. During my weekly 1-on-1s, I was berated and belittled by men in charge and once had a male in charge inform me that he'd discovered I made more money than him and he wasn't happy about it. I watched coworker after coworker get fired without any warning and without any explanation. On my commute to work each morning, I would fantasize about driving into oncoming traffic so I wouldn't have to face the people for whom I worked. The environment was so abusive that, when I was eventually laid off and replaced with someone they could pay half my salary, I sincerely believed I had no value. I had internalized the daily assaults and had lost all sense of self worth. In fact, when I was hired at my current job and began receiving COMPLIMENTS, I was blown away. In my entire time at Clearlink, I'd never received a word of encouragement. I'm not useless or stupid—Clearlink just treats its employees that way. In an effort to set itself apart from any religious association (it's Utah, after all), Clearlink goes out of its way to really commit to alcohol. Drinking at work is encouraged. The kitchen is constantly stocked with beer. If you struggle with addiction or if you don't like your manager giving you feedback while buzzed, this is not the place for you. There is a constant current of religious intolerance, which is ironic considering the high percentage of Mormons who currently work there. But, again, respect for others isn't a quality Clearlink values. The bottom line is that this company exists to get people to sign up for cable television and internet. When you google something like "get DSL," the websites that appear are made by Clearlink. Now they're branching into moving companies and alarm systems and maintaining websites that claim to give unbiased reviews (spoiler alert: they're biased). It's a total money grab. And there's zero job satisfaction possible--you exist to make giant companies even wealthier. Oh, and if you're too good at your job, watch out: your time is limited. My coworkers who were fired for giving constructive feedback about how to improve processes moved on to other companies where they're infinitely happier and valued. But if you like being a cog in a giant, money-grabbing, soul-sucking machine, by all means apply for a position. Clearlink is trying to stay relevant, but it's on a downward spiral. This is a garbage company filled with sad bullies.

Management completely destroyed the company culture. No one was willing to take responsibility, nor give any autonomy, so work was often an endless feedback loop and design by committee. They burned people out. They destroyed morale through overpromising and backtracking. I would be angry with them if it weren't so sad. Employees work hard to build a company culture, and management completely decimated it. And all that was BEFORE the CEO went on Zoom and embarrassed himself in front of the world. I would be surprised if Clearlink were still around in 2024.
