      Poor Environment

      Pros

      Competitive pay, flexible work hours

      Cons

      By and large employees are not valued or respected at Clark Associates. There is not an HR department and unqualified people are in management positions. Favoritism is a problem, with certain personality profiles being heavily favored over others. It is not an environment where you will be valued or respected. Clark takes in young professionals with limited work experience, grinds them into the ground, and spits them out with little to no regard for them. It is a very poor work environment.

      Pros

      If you possess the "correct" personality traits, you will go quite far. Their training is decent and will work with you should you have desires to advance professionally

      Cons

      Should you posses an "incorrect" personality, you will be made to feel inferior and ignorant. Good luck...

      Bait & Swtich

      Pros

      Lots of room to grow because their turnover is ridiculously high. They're desperate for management in an insanely quickly growing company. No experience? No problem. Clark "prefers people with no experience so they can brainwash them" - and that came directly out of the mouth of one of the VPs there.

      Cons

      Ever hear of the term "bait & switch?" This company follows the bible. They will lure you in with a fancy title, and you will soon find the work you're doing has nothing to do with it. Don't be surprised if you're randomly demoted one day. You will leave this company with ZERO confidence and feel like you're capable of nothing, because that's what you are told day in a day out. Overall, this company has poor management technique and does not value their employees one bit. Occasionally they will buy beers and pass them around the office to everyone, but that's just a sad attempt to decrease their turnover.
