Pros
Clark is very attractive to entry level or young professionals because they offer an above average starting salary and regular promotions in the first 3 years. As a young employee you will receive plenty of responsibility and exposure to complex projects. Clark is one of the biggest names in the Mid-Atlantic and has a great reputation in the DMV area.
Cons
Most of my time at Clark has been in the preconstruction department as an estimator and the environment is nothing short of toxic. Morale is severely low because employees are not treated with respect by upper management and the workload is very unevenly distributed. The best employees are rewarded with more work and put in 70-110 hrs per week while average employees work the standard 50 hours per week. Clark appeals to young employees with the prospect of moving up quickly if you work hard, but the company has become so large in the past 10 years that it is no longer possible. The illusion of this upward mobility is kept up by (seemingly) arbitrary early promotions, i.e.- the best employees are RARELY recognized. These issues have led to a culture of blame where upper management looks to assign mistakes to employees under them and the younger employees become cut-throat with their peers. However, it would be unfair of me not to note that co-workers have told me the work-life balance on job sites is more reasonable with a consistent 50-60 hour week under normal conditions. I also have heard that there is a better team mentality out on job sites.
