Pros

-Awesome projects. If you're in the DMV location, Clark is the main name. Around they country they are not "known" as much. -Great team. Never have had an issue with anyone. -Push for growth, offer a lot of trainings and learning programs etc. -Slowly are getting better with work life balance but it is just not there or actually honest.

Cons

-You have to LOVEEEE construction to feel compensated for what you are doing. Pay is decent but when you're working 10-12 hour days , some nights and weekends….is your salary actually good?!?! -A lot of turnover. I have recommended many people who have not been hired yet they hire others with 0 experience. -Seems a lot of the younger project managers have started from college and are almost bred like robots. They might be good at their job but everyone seems 100000000% over worked. At the end of the day they might be able to say they worked on a cool project in DC but are they actually happy… -Working weekends you should be getting an extra vacation day/floating holiday. A lot of competitors do that. -About 10 different programs are used I the field on a daily basis. Listen to your employees who ACTUALLY use them and have suggestions on what would help them. -Another person wrote a lot of 0-2 year then 10-15 but not a lot of between. That should tell them something. -Terms of COVID - doing a good job at keeping clean and enforcing guidelines. However, still expect to work xyz hours which also starts to compromise your immune system. -Up until approx 10 years ago women had to wear tights in the office…...

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. While conducting focus groups last year, we learned that our team members love being able to deliver assets that are integral to our everyday lives, and thrive on executing complex projects that push the boundaries of our industry. Our employees' passion makes us the company we are today. We are constantly learning and evolving our culture to meet the needs of our employees. We know that every industry has its demanding periods, and construction is no exception. We pride ourselves on our reputation of serving our customers and delivering quality products on time. To that end, we continue to deploy programs to help ensure our employees maintain a healthy life and are able to juggle the demands of work and home. Finding the right mix is critical for our team members and our business. If you are open to it, I encourage you to reach out to me directly to discuss further. - Mark Hamberlin, Chief People Officer

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.
