How are the career development opportunities at Clearlink?

There are some great people who still work here!

They keep having layoffs, which leads to more and more brain drain without solving the underlying problems. There is also very little in the way of career opportunities.

Enjoyed my coworkers. Fully remote at hire. Used to have 1/2 days on Fridays.

Massive layoffs and the gutting of the many of the company brands. Sacrificed quality content and staff for profits. Unhinged CEO that antagonized employees. No career development. Poor benefits. Ended up doing the jobs of three people after they quit or were laid off.

The training is thorough and sets you up well to succeed in sales, especially if you're new to the industry. Remote work flexibility is a huge plus, especially for those who value work-life balance. Great team energy — coworkers are supportive, and leadership is encouraging when you hit goals. Opportunity to make solid money if you perform well — commission structure rewards top sellers. Company offers good incentives like spiffs, recognition, and even trips.

The work is very metrics-driven, and pressure to perform can be overwhelming at times. Commission structure changes fairly often, which can make earnings unpredictable. Burnout is real — back-to-back calls with high-pressure sales can take a toll mentally. PTO and mental health days could be improved, especially for sales reps constantly on the phone. Advancement can be competitive and often depends on staying in the top percentile.

It is a nice place to work.

Career development can be slow.

Good people, they make work enjoyable, and they do care about you personally.

After over 10 years I couldn't have been more stuck in my career and have grown more in the last 2 years since being laid off then I did the ENTIRE time I worked at Clearlink. Out of high school type of job, not for building a career in sales I promise you that.

I met some of the best people I know at this company. They were all so kind, smart, and hard working, and I learned so much in working with them.

It's very possible that economically the company was in a tough place anyways, but I don't think it should've been reflected so aggressively in the way they started treating employees. I didn't appreciate being treated like a kid who could only work well under supervision, while most of the company remained remote. Not only that, but there was a major discrepancy between the treatment of those who were in office vs those who were remote, the latter also losing benefits. The layoffs were handled poorly, the townhall leak was somehow handled even worse, and they killed DEI right after the CEO said what he did. Career pathing at the company is non-existent and the pay isn't up to industry standard. When I brought everything up in my exit interview, they acknowledged that everyone who had left before me had said the same things, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Managers are really caring about work/life balance

Not a lot of growth opportunities.

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.

Great teammates and fun opportunities

Leadership was very biased and did not care for employees as people
