High Work Demand, Little to No Reward - Project Engineer Clark Construction Group Employee Review

Pros

Clark has its hand in many facets of construction management including both new construction and renovation of federal, retail, hotel, educational, residential, museums, public transit and rail work. Exposure to all of this work within one company has been a tremendous learning experience and benefits your career greatly.

Cons

The work culture at Clark is unbearable. 60-80 hour work weeks are "normal" and working less is almost frowned upon by all middle management and exec level. No compensation is ever given for the extra hours worked, or going above and beyond time and time again. Expectations are always set above anyone's ability to comfortably achieve in a reasonable time frame. Even when you achieve great things, "thank you" or "great job" is a rarity to hear. In summary, a LOT of demand, for little verbal or monetary appreciation.

Pros

-Interesting projects -Exposure within the industry

Cons

-Almost every review I’ve seen everyone says over worked. They say it’s the industry but Clark is known in the construction world for that. Working 12 hours in the field in normal and expected. - they favor certain people and make them little mentees under long term employees. Those people are then given a gold star. -Departments who you think would care about their people ( HR and Communications do not) -become so woke yet don’t actually react -Make the new vacation policy look like a benefit but it’s actually less time and keeps them from having to pay out if you leave - take pride in “safety” but expect you to drive to work in a snowstorm because they cleared the parking lot. The amount of people that were amazed at that email is insane.
