Pros

I made some good friends and connections while I worked for Clark.

Cons

Management is a dead end job. They create a bunch of hogwash titles for random positions just to make it appear there is more jobs. There is no where to go after a few years as a manager. Management "kindly" suggests people leave a review to increase their ratings. There have been times that senior management instructed us to speak with individuals who may have wrote negative reviews on this site, even though they could not prove it was or was not them. You can tell that they cannot stand negative reviews. When you see one on this site, it is followed by a whole bunch of new positive reviews from the same departments. Everyone screams about the culture....unfortunately that is because if you say anything negative about the place, they put you on a performance improvement plan and blackball you for the duration of your time there. If you make a mistake they hold it against you for the rest of your time. Manager pay is based upon favoritism. They have no pay structure. After discussing pay with other managers, it was obvious that there is a huge discrepancy in pay at the management level. If you are not a yes man......you are gone man. They actually say challenge the status quo, ha. Do that and you will be deemed toxic and shunned.

We ask everyone in the company to write honest reviews, and reviews are anonymous. We desire for the company to be represented realistically and encourage employee feedback. Our company is founded on growth, and the majority of our leaders have been promoted from within. We encourage employees to share feedback, both positive and negative, on our culture, among other areas. We do this through annual surveys, regular town halls with executive leadership, and our Employee Experience Advisory Groups, to name a few channels. No employee would be penalized for sharing constructive feedback, and we need this feedback to identify potential opportunities for improvement. Each department works with senior management to create a fair and consistent pay scale. Pay structures are determined by department, and we continually analyze the market for trends in compensation and perform adjustments when needed. Performance and salary are reviewed yearly for each employee. We pride ourselves on providing competitive compensation and a strong culture and are disappointed to hear that you did not have a positive experience. We hope that you were able to bring up these concerns with your supervisor.
