Pros
Culture- While working for Clark Associates I was part of the culture team in addition to being hired as a consildator and it was a delight to be a part of it. The company cared about improving the safety, creating and improving rewards for stand out employee's, improving the culture to make coming too work more positive and actually having an ear for what the employees had to stay and thought. Management- There was a hard work emphasis that was expected each day, but hard working individuals were noticed and rewarded by being recognized by management and thought of when better paying positions opened up. My managers were a pleasure to work along side with as they were willing to help the workers when we were extremely busy and needed an extra hand. Almost all the managers I worked for worked their way up to their current positions and so they understood what we were doing. Paid time off- While there was no separate sick time from personal time off, I feel that was a good thing as it prevented call offs from happening as often. It made it more fair for workers that actually cared and didn't call out all the time. When people got sick while at work management cared. You wouldn't feel guilty if you felt you needed to go home as some managers at other employer's I've worked for would do. Wages- I thought the wages were very fair and more then competitive compared to other warehousing companies. Increases in pay were administered based on performance but also time working for the company. I knew employees who made themselves noticed by hard work, improving performance and wanting to grow in the company that received more then fair raises in pay. This is how team players moved up in the company. There were also company events such as food trucks, softball tournaments and an amazing company Christmas party where employees are rewarded with dinner, dance, live band, games and real prizes and recognition of outstanding service and anniversaries of long running employees. I only worked for Clark Associates one year and I will never forget my time there. I would work there again if I didn't live such a distance from home.
Cons
None that couldn't be dealt with by planning, organizing and team work.
