Pros
Store level employees are great and some areas have managers who have worked great together for many years.
Cons
This company is in trouble. Newly hired upper management come from businesses like Brookstone, T-Mobile, and The Discovery Channel Store, which all had large layoffs while these people were there. Since they have come to Clarks, they have opened a new multimillion dollar home office and instituted half day Fridays for the home office staff that we need support from in the retail stores. While showing off this new glass tower of theirs through a company wide conference, they follow up with pay cuts for staff members in the retail stores and a change in the pay plan that gives no incentive for success. The planning process for layoffs and store closings is already started. Moving upwards with this company is not possible even if you are successful. The upper management has stopped developing the employees we have and say they are looking for "new talent," bringing on employees from their past businesses. Clarks is limping right now and employee morale is at an all time low. Don't come to work for this company until these managers leave to destroy the next. You won't have any form of job security.
