Still a train wreck.

Pros

Worked with some great people, including program managers and director. The energy efficiency industry is growing and will continue to do so. Helping people save on their energy bills was very gratifying work.

Cons

This company embodies all that is wrong with corporate America. Top-down management, arbitrary and poorly communicated policy changes directly affecting employees, an incompetent HR department that basically functions (if you can call it functioning) as a servant to senior management and couldn't care less about the employees it supposedly serves, a stifling employee policy manual that again serves strictly to cover top management's rear end, concern for profits before people (people including employees and customers/clients), secrecy regarding pay and benefit policies (taking away accrued vacation with no forewarning- really?), unwillingness or inability to address genuine employee concerns. I could go on and on. The HR group in particular deserves to be called out as a total joke, and the joke is on CLEAResult employees. I was part of a company that imploded a while ago, and it wasn't fun. This time I feel fortunate to be on the outside looking in. I just feel badly for friends that are still there caught up in that mess. My advice is to get out while you can.

This person's experience working at CLEAResult is obviously not something we're proud of or endorse. Feedback like this helps both human resources staff and company leaders know what still needs improving. I encourage current employees who may feel similarly to utilize the HR Service Center and executive open door policy. We are ready to listen and we do care.

Pros

Not many.... Coworkers are fun, they have direct deposit, and if you like working a bunch of hours and being compensated below the industry average... This is the place for you.

Cons

Run away and avoid like the plague! CLEAResult is always looking for ways to reduce employee benefits and compensation. Don't trust an offer letter...HR has publicly stated offer letters are not valid and the CLEResult has the right to change employee benefits and compensation at any time. HR is horrible and they don't notify employees of benefited or compensation changes until they already happened. If an employee brings up an issue, HR's answer is you should be grateful you have a job. Here is a list of recent ways employees were given the shaft. 1. In 2015, CLEAResult hit it's EBITA goal so employee bonuses where funded for divisions that reached their goal. Employees where kept in the dark on when bonuses and how much would be paid. A week before bonuses employees received an email with bonus amounts. Bonuses were one fourth of what employees where told was their bonus target in their offer letters. When employees ask HR and management on how bonuses were calculated their response is "Offer letters are not valid and CLEAResult has the right to modify all employee compensation" and "We don't know how they were calculated. Upper management and the Board determined the bonus amount and did not take into account employee targets." 2. The end of 2015 and beginning of 2016, CLEAResult changed many employees from salary to hourly without notifying the employees. Employees found out they were paid hourly on their pay statement. Also CLEAResult changed the bonus plan for these employees so they are no longer eligible for bonuses. HR and management blamed each other for not notifying emoloyees. 3. At the beginning of 2015 CLEAResult changed the vacation policy so employees could roll over vacation time to the next year. In December 2015, CLEAResult rolled out a new employee vacation policy that does not allow employees to roll over vacation. Also, employees no longer accruing vacation time... Meaning CLEAResult will not pay out vacation if an employee quits or is terminated. They did this so they could write off the liability on the books. They told employees they would loose any unused vacation time at the end of December 2015. Most employees were rolling a week or more of vacation and did not have time to use it. HR response was "the company has the right to change up the vacation policy at any time." I can list many other changes... Needless to say, I plan on switching employers at the earliest opportunity!

I can't verify the accuracy of all these statements, but I can say that CLEAResult made some missteps with employee communications on benefits that were regrettable. Since then, our executives have worked to improve transparency and if you're still a current employee, I'm sure you've seen some pleasant changes. Thank you for your honest feedback.

Terrible Company - RUN AWAY

Pros

Nothing. Literally nothing. Well, the Springfield, MA office occasionally has lunch catered and the security guard is a super nice guy.

Cons

The company is a complete horror show. It's sitting on a gigantic pile of debt - they only seem to make money by letting talented people go. Eventually the company will be nothing but a small group of untalented people that are willing to take next-to-nothing pay from an unethical company. The company has no loyalty to anyone - if they can make a buck off of screwing you, believe me they will. The Human Resources department is a complete embarrassment to the Human Resources profession. Actually, I'm wrong, I don't think you can call one small group of bumbling people an HR department, it's more of a circus than anything else because the department's lack of ethics, organization, and basic intelligence is pretty entertaining. Whatever you do, don't work for this company unless you enjoy being under paid and screwed. If you're a current employee, get out while it's still your choice.

All feedback is valued. Thank you. We'd like an opportunity to address and hopefully fix your specific issues and concerns in person. Please contact local leadership. Most managers, directors and SVPs have open door policies. If you do decide to quit, we wish you best of luck in your future endeavors.
