Pros

Great location Decent office If you do decide to accept the job, it can be used as a stepping stone to move into a more mature telecommunications company! (123Net, RocketFiber, ManagedWay, TelNet)

Cons

- Pay is bare minimum. Why stay at Clear Rate when any company will pay almost double your salary? Some folks are making less than 35k salary and are expected to work overtime. What a joke! - Due to low pay and lack of growth opportunities, the good employees are gone within a year. - Eating at your desk is forbidden! Sam (CFO) will walk around and punish those that are snacking on the clock. - Non existent training (if you're new it's likely that the more senior employees already quit so tough luck)

Pros

Nice office. People who aren't management are pretty cool, especially customer service reps. Room for advancement because everyone is quitting. I actually learned a lot about telecommunications. It's a good start after college and may look good on a resume, but it's really not worth the hassle.

Cons

Where do I start? Oh. Micromanagement. That's the name of the game at Clear Rate. Also, you will be in trivial meetings for things that don't matter for hours. It's very counterproductive. If you work in any department except for customer service, fun is not allowed. Neither is talking. And if you do work in customer service, you will be rudely looked upon for having fun and you will feel like you're with the misfits of the company. You have a great idea? Cool. It's never gonna happen. Do you work well with others? Not gonna happen either. Once they get the feeling you and others are actually doing a great job together, they split you apart because they know you will go against them. Secrecy and drama everywhere. Do you wanna bring an issue to HR? HR will listen but there's not a whole lot to be done when the executives won't listen to anyone. Oh yea, having to clock in and out when you're on salary is really cool. Especially since you will work overtime and they "appreciate it and will compensate you in your quarterly bonus." Yea, good luck with that. Also, good luck dealing with the other companies they work with: They're just peachy.

Pros

What I am about to share for cons is NOT an uncommon opinion. Most (present and past) share this opinion.

Cons

The office environment is toxic at best. The fairness of the owners (family) was as obvious as their dictatorship. They do not care about the employees. They simply care about their financials and how they are growing their (presumed) pot of gold. They sit behind a fish tank glass wall and watch your every move. “Sales” in their minds, isn’t about the face to face building relationships. It’s about making a minimum of 100 dials a day very day, regardless. They have no clue what it is like to run a real telecommunications provider in the B2B world. They have NEVER had a successful outside sales organization, simply because of their unrealistic expectations, but force feed you that “when they ran successful sales departments before, they made 100 calls a day”....well, let’s do the math. The vast majority of their revenue comes from the residential market. They do not have a base of business clients to speak of, and think they are a world class organization like their competitors, and NO-ONE has succeeded in B2B there. There are plenty of options out there. DON’T make this one of them! Compete against them and show them what it is like to win business and succeed in a POSITIVE, FUN and EXCITING telecommunications company! You are better than what they need!
