Company Men - Corporate Overhead Clark Construction Group Employee Review

Pros

Friendly community and the perks of an very old-fashioned company - good healthcare and a generous 401k match. Other old-fashioned perks include wedding presents, baby showers, birthday cupcakes, lots of free Clark "swag."

Cons

The cons are also that of a very old-fashioned company. Strict hours and face time requirements that remain indifferent to people's family commitments, health concerns, and the changing workplace outside of Clark, yes, even in COVID times. (Even corporate has a lower proportion of females than an investment bank and they don't even realized it.) Management seems to have mostly gotten their positions by entrenchment, a commitment to conformity, optics, repetition and an ability to create the impression that they squeeze work out of their employees. Clark HR seems to be resigned to pockets of bad management and high turn-over because of the sense of entrenchment (or maybe they just don't care?) Very little attention is paid to improving Clark's tactical or strategic approaches, even when the status quo clearly is not working. Employees who enjoy Clark corporate seem to be conformist and not particularly concerned with their own professional development.

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.
