Pros

You'll learn a lot on the marketing side. You'll find some of the smartest people when it comes to SEO and PPC. The business model has created a fined tuned machine when it comes to high performing websites. There's two business divisions, performance and consumer. They are almost two different companies - one is growing and the other is declining. Depending where you are will change your perspective.

Cons

Bottom line always comes first. They protect their margins ruthlessly, so they will fire entire teams if they need to. Very top heavy management. A few VPs are very overpaid for what they contribute to the business. CEO is MIA, never there. Don't understand how he is a CEO of the year honoree. Nepotism is rampant, internal politics can be hard to deal with. In the CEO's absence, the CMO basically runs things, to the dismay of some.

We are sorry to hear that we failed to deliver the exceptional employee experience we strive for. While it is great to hear that you share our belief that we have such an amazing pool of incredibly talented people, it is unfortunate to hear that we put profits before people. We have always been a people-first culture and understand very well that there are real people, our friends and colleagues, behind the numbers. Your feedback has been passed along to the leadership team, please email us at HR@Clearlink.com so we can begin a dialogue and better understand the details of your time here.

Cons

Clearlink went from a CEO that didn’t give a single care about the employees to new leadership that seems to care now but with that, I feel like the new people aren’t aware of what’s really going on. When you’re hired here, boy, do they sell you the dream! Everything is good, and slowly you start to lose hope & very quickly you learn this company is going downhill one way or another. I was part of the social team for years. We were promised growth and new opportunities and that NEVER happened. We’d bring up concerns about leadership in our individual team and the concerns were NEVER taken seriously, because as I easily learned, this company is like high school, they will protect their friends even if it means losing a brand partner. The higher ups will have random meeting to talk about the department & there’s specific higher ups who feel the need to show off their Disney trips/cruises while some of us are struggling to even keep up with bills and living paycheck to paycheck. Overall, there’s A LOT of broken promises on growth. Pay sucks and it’s hard to get a pay raise. Any concern you bring to a higher up will leave you ignored or they won’t do anything about it. Your career won’t grow here unless you’re BFFs with higher ups that have been there forever.
