- "Almost everyone is committed to making improvements and trying new things to be competitive and it shows in the results." (in 6 reviews)
- "This also leads to very little recognition or reward because most management is afraid that you will look better than them or if you are in a lower position than them (even if youre a manager) you should be less intelligent." (in 13 reviews)
- "So for 99% of the employees that will never make it to senior buyer level, just know that you will be stuck making low to mid 50s for years, and when you become a manager you might be stuck with low to mid 60s until you're 28" (in 10 reviews)

Promotes Work life balance for all

Company says they want honest feedback, but they really don’t. Their training program is very poorly run.
2Clark Associates Response9moWe apologize that you feel as though our company does not value feedback. We understand the importance of feedback and strive to ensure that all employees feel heard and supported. We encourage our employees to voice their opinions and suggestions and have many ways to help promote this open communication.

Our employees also have access to an anonymous form to report any concerns. We are also sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with our training program. We recently updated our training program to address some of the concerns that employees raised.

Pros
Great training and knowledgable management. Very approachable and tells it like it is. The company is growing at a rapid rate and is always hiring. Good work/life balance. Good compensation. Open door policy.
Cons
if you do not like to be micro managed and looking for a purchasing position, look elsewhere. Rapid growth comes with extreme challenges and the number one challenge this company is having is keeping a full staff. Unfortunity their underemployed status is because of their reputation not because of their growth.
