Pros

The people are great and are the reason that most young employees are attracted to the company. Clark also wins contracts for very large projects and is very well known in the DC area. A lot of responsibility is given to each team member no matter how much experience you have.

Cons

-There is no structure whatsoever to advancing in the company. You do the best job possible and be told you are doing so by your direct managers, but when it comes to promotions its all luck and chance. Even if you are recommended for one, no one can tell you when or if it will happen. There are rumors that a limited amount of people can be promoted each cycle so if you don't have someone at the top of the company pulling for you, it won't happen. Since employees with the same job title and exceptions have many different managers it's impossible to compare one person's work to another's. -As mentioned, you are given a lot of responsibility immediately. Everyone is extremely busy since jobs are short staffed, so there is little to no guidance given to you. You have to figure out mostly everything on your own. -There's a high turnover rate and the upper management doesn't seem to care too much.

Pompous. Arrogant. Individualistic. Just a few words to describe the overall culture. NO work/life balance, compensation below average, Lack of Communication, disorganization, frequent transferrals, poor workmanship tolerated or even encouraged, too many meetings and not enough working.

Pros

Clark Construction Group are great builders. They build relationships with the community through new development and philanthropy. They build relationships with the employees and give a sense of family, even in such a large company. They build monumental projects with their outstanding reputation.

Cons

Clark Construction Group requires long hours with little compensation, the balance between family/life and work weighs heavy on the work side. The promotion process is inconsistent and sometimes inaccurate. They continue to hire Office Engineers, in hopes that the mistreatment of the "older, more expensive" Office Engineers will leave.
