Outdated Marketing and Sales Practices and Outdated Views on Employee Wellbeing - Anonymous employee Clearlink Employee Review

The culture at Clearlink is advertised as one thing, but in reality is far from what they say they are. The company says to value their people and says that it’s a place to learn, grow and improve their skill set for their career, but ideas are shut down and the workers are severely undervalued. While there is an Inclusivity & Diversity department, it exists solely to advertise Clearlink as a “woke” company to the press while employees who actually are minorities and members of protected classes are systemically oppressed and their legitimate concerns rug-swept and dismissed. 
 Directionless leadership, the result of nepotistic promotions of a select few in the inner circle/boy’s club, is running the business into the ground. Management is extremely set in their ways and instead of innovating or taking risks to try new things, they cling to outdated marketing methods and practices in an attempt to reclaim the now long-gone success of the past. Strategy is talked about often, but new and successful initiatives are rarely, if ever, actually implemented. 
 There is also a large disconnect between employees and management. Employees are held to a high standard of accountability while the same standards do not apply to management. Management is hesitant to promote employees and the path for career growth is subjective and based on favoritism. Management promotes themselves and their friends endlessly while entry to mid-level employees ultimately leave to other companies in order to get the pay and positions they deserve. 
 Clearlink is less of a company that is struggling to adapt in the fast-paced, digital world. It is more like a sinking ship. My advice to potential employees and current employees is to abandon ship before you go down with it.
