Pros

Not many.... Coworkers are fun, they have direct deposit, and if you like working a bunch of hours and being compensated below the industry average... This is the place for you.

Cons

Run away and avoid like the plague! CLEAResult is always looking for ways to reduce employee benefits and compensation. Don't trust an offer letter...HR has publicly stated offer letters are not valid and the CLEResult has the right to change employee benefits and compensation at any time. HR is horrible and they don't notify employees of benefited or compensation changes until they already happened. If an employee brings up an issue, HR's answer is you should be grateful you have a job. Here is a list of recent ways employees were given the shaft. 1. In 2015, CLEAResult hit it's EBITA goal so employee bonuses where funded for divisions that reached their goal. Employees where kept in the dark on when bonuses and how much would be paid. A week before bonuses employees received an email with bonus amounts. Bonuses were one fourth of what employees where told was their bonus target in their offer letters. When employees ask HR and management on how bonuses were calculated their response is "Offer letters are not valid and CLEAResult has the right to modify all employee compensation" and "We don't know how they were calculated. Upper management and the Board determined the bonus amount and did not take into account employee targets." 2. The end of 2015 and beginning of 2016, CLEAResult changed many employees from salary to hourly without notifying the employees. Employees found out they were paid hourly on their pay statement. Also CLEAResult changed the bonus plan for these employees so they are no longer eligible for bonuses. HR and management blamed each other for not notifying emoloyees. 3. At the beginning of 2015 CLEAResult changed the vacation policy so employees could roll over vacation time to the next year. In December 2015, CLEAResult rolled out a new employee vacation policy that does not allow employees to roll over vacation. Also, employees no longer accruing vacation time... Meaning CLEAResult will not pay out vacation if an employee quits or is terminated. They did this so they could write off the liability on the books. They told employees they would loose any unused vacation time at the end of December 2015. Most employees were rolling a week or more of vacation and did not have time to use it. HR response was "the company has the right to change up the vacation policy at any time." I can list many other changes... Needless to say, I plan on switching employers at the earliest opportunity!

I can't verify the accuracy of all these statements, but I can say that CLEAResult made some missteps with employee communications on benefits that were regrettable. Since then, our executives have worked to improve transparency and if you're still a current employee, I'm sure you've seen some pleasant changes. Thank you for your honest feedback.

Pros

Decent pay Flexible Schedule Great coworkers

Cons

Constant changing objectives without continuity throughout management and departments. Human Resources is completely void of humanity. No procedures for basic conflict resolution. Any small grievance or questions regarding company policy gets blown out of proportion when a simple clarification could have sufficed.
