Pros

The only reason you should work here is if you are incapable of finding a job anywhere else, and you are desperate.

Cons

Terrible management, terrible pay, and terrible workflow. They’ve started running the content department like a bad dictatorship. You will not learn valuable skills here. It won’t even look good on a resume. Trust me: it took months for me to find a new job. No one cares that you were a content writer at Webstaurant/Clark when you don’t actually learn about marketing or SEO. Feedback is unwelcome, and you will be punished for having any negative feelings. There is not one content writer who does not want to quit. The environment is toxic and negative, full of talented people who have been exploited and abused. I’m just lucky enough to have gotten out. If you are thinking for applying for a job here, just RUN. They don’t care about you. You will waste two months of your time in training, only to be discarded while they hire newer, fresher faces. It’s dystopian.

Clark Associates Response
4y
It is important for us to respond to reviews and to address concerns that are communicated. We pride ourselves on our culture of entrepreneurial spirit, where questioning current practices is a key element of our success and growth. The idea that "feedback is unwelcome and you will be punished for having any negative feelings" directly opposes several company-wide initiatives to foster honest input. Our retaliation policy (found in the employee handbook) states, "lodging a bona fide complaint will in no way be used against the employee or have an adverse impact on the individual’s employment status." We encourage all employees to speak with their managers if there are concerns about compensation, training, workflow or the environment. While speaking directly with managers is encouraged, employees can access an anonymous online form to share concerns or feedback directly with the Employee Experience team. Our goal is to provide each employee with open communication, in multiple formats. We perform regular market industry compensation evaluations and look to provide competitive pay and benefits, which includes the Content Department at the WebstaurantStore. Content has a calendar of events – required industry trainings, optional professional development and social events as well as individual team training with the Expert Review Team on industry topics. We take your concerns seriously and your review has been shared with senior management for further review.
