Solid company for new hires - Engineer Clark Construction Group Employee Review

Very receptive management and great people to work with

Benefits are not anything tremendous

Some benefits and activities. Nice office space. Some good colleagues

The organization is highly bureaucratic, and in my experience, there was often a lack of clear direction while expectations remained exceptionally high. Some executives expected results without providing sufficient context or guidance, making it difficult to succeed consistently. There appears to be a high level of turnover, and there is a strong preference for all Executive Assistants to work in the same style as a favored individual rather than recognizing different, yet equally effective, approaches. Initiative and autonomy were not always valued. The company requires Executive Assistants to work in the office five days a week with little to no flexibility. Additionally, discussions around compensation, such as requesting a salary increase or bonus, can sometimes coincide with increased scrutiny of performance. Minor issues may be disproportionately emphasized during performance reviews, potentially affecting compensation decisions. Collaboration across offices was another challenge. Working with Executive Assistants in other locations could be frustrating due to inconsistent responsiveness, limited cooperation, and, at times, a condescending approach. Scheduling was particularly difficult because the CEO’s Executive Assistant held significant influence over calendar decisions, and meetings could be canceled or declined without much consideration for the needs of other executives, creating ongoing coordination challenges.
