If you are looking for a positive culture you will not find it at Clark Construction

Assistant superintendent

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Compensation -Successful Company/Job Security -Opportunity -Semi Annual Training Outings

Cons

The warm welcome is non existent. Staff meetings are cut throat often threatening team members jobs with hopes for success in management's unrealistic schedule. Moral is very low in the Chicago branch. Turnover rate is very high with this company for a reason. Specifically in Chicago the branch has multiplied the team members by 200% in the past few years. This has put the company culture on the back burner. It is dwindling new associates giving a bad representation of a successful GC like Clark. There is no structure from day 1 walking on to the job. If you are not in the clique you will not be recognized or even sought after. The comradery is there but impossible to penetrate coming from another company. If you come from an outside company you will be seen as an outsider and will be reminded of this on a daily basis. You can only put up with favoritism and being treated like a red headed step child for so long. The long hours and deconstructive criticism going around the entire team in Chicago was not worth making a sacrifice for.

You have to LOVE Construction

Pros

-Awesome projects. If you're in the DMV location, Clark is the main name. Around they country they are not "known" as much. -Great team. Never have had an issue with anyone. -Push for growth, offer a lot of trainings and learning programs etc. -Slowly are getting better with work life balance but it is just not there or actually honest.

Cons

-You have to LOVEEEE construction to feel compensated for what you are doing. Pay is decent but when you're working 10-12 hour days , some nights and weekends….is your salary actually good?!?! -A lot of turnover. I have recommended many people who have not been hired yet they hire others with 0 experience. -Seems a lot of the younger project managers have started from college and are almost bred like robots. They might be good at their job but everyone seems 100000000% over worked. At the end of the day they might be able to say they worked on a cool project in DC but are they actually happy… -Working weekends you should be getting an extra vacation day/floating holiday. A lot of competitors do that. -About 10 different programs are used I the field on a daily basis. Listen to your employees who ACTUALLY use them and have suggestions on what would help them. -Another person wrote a lot of 0-2 year then 10-15 but not a lot of between. That should tell them something. -Terms of COVID - doing a good job at keeping clean and enforcing guidelines. However, still expect to work xyz hours which also starts to compromise your immune system. -Up until approx 10 years ago women had to wear tights in the office…...
