Pros

Positive takeaways can always be gained from negative experiences. I learned a lot of what NOT to do, how NOT to run a business operation and how NOT to manage subordinates. This knowledge will help me in my future endeavors and for that I am thankful.

Cons

This company does not put a high value on its employees. There is also little to no room for growth. Management is often young and inexperienced. The managerial philosophy is also toxic and you will be fully expected to drink the kool aid. Management claims they want to avoid the classic business pitfall of “this is how we’ve always done things”. But actions speak louder than words, as they perpetually avoid innovation and new ideas for much needed change. For instance, they use a computer system that was created in the 1980s. It is not at all user friendly and is full of bugs. The new computer system has been under development for many years. It is taking much longer than anticipated, because all of the developers keep leaving the company and finding employment elsewhere. Shocking, right? If this doesn’t sound like the kind of environment you want to work in, I strongly advise finding a job somewhere else.

Clark Associates Response

We're sorry to hear that you left feeling like the company didn't value employees, there was little room for growth, and that the company avoided innovation. As the leading e-commerce distributor in our industry, we wouldn't be where we are today without taking care of employees, fostering their growth, and championing innovative ideas. Our culture is built on these elements so to hear that you didn't see them is surprising and not the feedback we typically hear.
