      Pros

      VP of department was fantastic (Dish dept), and sales coaches seem to care about you as an individual. Compensation can be decent. Culture is active and fun. Annual trips to Vegas for a large number of the floor, and Mexico for the top performers. Sends a few people each year anywhere in the world for a week (trip of a lifetime award). Management will sit and listen to your goals and help you reach them, both inside and outside of work. I have had the CEO and VP approach me outside of work and talk to me about my personal life, goals, etc, which has been great...definitely didn't have to go out of their way to do that, but they did.

      Cons

      While the coaches and mid-level management seems to take an interest in your personal life, the amount of professionalism there (or lack thereof) makes it tough for someone to break out of the daily grind on the phones and advance (unless you're friends with the management already). I don't know if this is any different from any other center, so calling it a "con" is a little ignorant on my part, but this was my experience. All of the coaches on my floor (with the exception of one) have been friends long before their time at CLEARLINK, which seemed a little odd. They do care and get along with the staff, and from my perspective they looked like they really wanted to help people that wanted to help themselves, but there definitely was a nepotistic streak on the floor when it came to advancement. I'm not sure how much this ends up being a "con" over anywhere else, that was just my experience.

        Pros

        Clearlink has a wonderful and supportive company culture. I feel supported and valued by my colleagues and manager. I've also learned a lot about digital publishing, which has been a big plus.

        Cons

        Writing is very SEO-based, lots of OKRs to meet, and some people don't like the work-from-home approach that kicked in at the start of the pandemic.

          Pros

          Coworkers are fun and so is your team lead if you're lucky

          Cons

          Rigid and increasingly corporate culture is suffocating the place. They make you lie and be pushy, if you don't then it's off to the gulags. Increasingly woke

            Pros

            If you enjoy over the phone sales jobs, then this job will be great for you. Clearlink tries to maintain a positive culture and the prizes you can win for completing certain goals are really crazy.

            Cons

            It is an over the phone sales job for large companies who dont really care about you. They will ask you to do things that you have not been trained to do, and then punish you when you do not do them. Sales managers are the stereotypical sales managers and dont really care about you personally. This is why the turnover rate is so high.

              Great sales development and culture at the sales rep level

              Cons

              There are a lot of politics and “clubs” in management and above that make it hard to move up

                Pros

                -Good physical space--updated and modern (minus the racist mural mess--cartoon caricatures/icons (i.e. tacos dressed in a sombrero and mustache, sushi dressed like samurai warriors, etc.) -Lots of snacks & energy drinks (LOL) -Lake with a walking path (great for much-needed destress walks--would usually take 2-3 a day so I wouldn't break down at work)

                Cons

                -Problems with racism, homophobia, and other major problematic behaviors towards marginalized groups -Constant and random layoffs (firing entire teams the day of) -Career pathing is a constant mess with the empty promise of it eventually being built out -Overall culture severely plummeted and a major imbalance between branches within the company (consumer vs performance) -Management is undertrained in leading direct reports -Constant reorgs/leadership change and unstable change throughout the entire company

                  - No additional compensation outside salary and $50/mo gift cards - Company culture on the decline with returning CEO forcing everyone within 50 miles to come into the office even though remote work was promised upon hiring.

                    Pros

                    I love Clearlink. The company cares more about their employees than any organization I have ever worked. They have a culture where it is okay to try and fail in order to learn valuable lessons for growth. I have been offered other opportunities for more money but have chosen to stay because I know I will never find another organization that cares this much.

                    Cons

                    The company is still new and trying to find its niche in the market. There isn't a clear direction on the future goals of the organization and not a lot of opportunity for advancement.

                      The culture is fun and relaxed and that's the best thing about Clearlink.

                      Cons

                      The management structure is awful. It's a great place to work if you're new to the full time work scene, but once you grow up and start to care about your career and job, you'll outgrow this company.

                        Pros

                        The culture and the people who drive that culture are the best things about working for Clearlink. I've never had better co-workers, ever. Most Clearlinkers are intelligent and easy to work with. Also, for my position, I'm compensated extremely well. And Clearlink gives us tons of perks and delivers on the benefits side of things. I am treated extremely well.

                        Cons

                        It sometimes feels like management only pays lip service to the importance of our company culture. This isn't the case all the time, but it does feel like some of us are passed over or not taken seriously because we fit Clearlink's branding but not corporate culture, broadly speaking. I think Clearlink is more conservatively corporate than our branding lets on.

                      EY

                      Had 4 behavioral interviews for a position last week. Last Friday (which was the last of the four interviews), the interviewer spent most of the interview selling me on the job and didn't ask me any questions. She ended the interview by saying she thinks I am confident and would be a great fit for the role. I took this as a good sign but giving it's 2023 you never truly know. Has anyone ever had an interviewer do something similar and not gotten the job?

                      Did i just shoot my foot today?? I had an interview and the HR asked me whats my current salary and how much im expecting in the role im applying for. I told her im on above 50s right now and Im looking for mid 60s to 70s. She said perfect! Did I undersell my self? I have 17 yrs of experience in retail, commercial ant mortgage banking. I well prepared how to answer this question but didnt happened as planned. The HR talks so fast that i got caught off guard.

                      Interviewing at Goldman Sachs as a Workforce Specialist. Did the HR screening and then interviewed with direct manager + another specialist- behavioral questions/experience. Called me the next day to interview with Workforce Management Supervisor. I didn’t see much info but when I did Google I saw that it could either be a “fit” interview, or more technical. Any insight on what I might expect? 😭 Still in school and would die to just get in with GS to transition over later.
