Pros

- incredible co-workers - beautiful workspace - very busy

Cons

- HIGH turnover - very many are let go within 3 months - I felt very "replaceable" - I rarely felt like an individual, more like a cog in a machine - low pay - they focused more on what I wasn't doing right than what I was doing well

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry to hear you had a negative experience overall. Our turnover rate is actually quite low compared to the national average (17% compared to 43%), however, we do work hard to determine if a role with Clark Associates will be the best fit for someone within their first 60 days, so it makes sense that it would feel like turnover during the first three months is higher. Ultimately, we want to make sure early on that a role is going to be the best long term position for both the company and the employee's sake and give employees the opportunity to find something better for them early on if it doesn't seem like a role with Clark is the best fit. That said, our intention is never to make employees feel replaceable or like they aren't valued which is why we offer the benefits we do and provide constant feedback to try and help employees continue to improve and grow.

Pros

This company is overall good for giving them a try. Good work/life balance, good salary, good people. Office is really comfortable with a Gym in the building. The company provides very detailed training for new employee and love to answer any question you might have. It is very enjoyable to attend every Thursday’s buyer meeting. The argument between CEO and buyers is the most fun time to learn the business and critical thinking during the week. PS: H1B sponsorship is open to discuss.

Cons

The company only like to hire and keep invest on the people who are good at product management (how to market your product, how to set up price to increase revenue etc.), so you will be doing lots of sourcing, pricing, gathering information for the product. You will learn something through doing these tasks. I believe that these tasks are useful down the road. You just have to bear with those repetitive tasks without a whole picture of it for a long time.
