Cons
The cons apply to the overall construction industry - There is nothing specifically wrong with Clark, as far as Construction companies go. LONG hours expected Minimum flexibility / Work Life balance Still learning to recognize people with advanced degrees (The industry recognizes people with experience, not P.H.Ds) - They clump all the new hires together, with or without college degrees and expect them to advance the same way (The compensation varies, but the job title stays the same) No choice in selection of projects or roles in a project - Can suddenly be moved to another city with little notice. Top heavy - Too many kings and not enough soldiers -Needs more middle managers. There are countless VPs getting a lion's share of the profits generated.
