Pros

The company offers good health benefits to its employees.

Cons

The leaders of Clearstep are certainly insane. Employees here are burdened with unreasonable amounts of workloads, yet the leadership does nothing to give us support or, at least, lessen our workloads. We have an extremely exhausting work environment, but the management does not seem to care. Our leaders only care about disciplining employees and keeping us in check. They only care about exercising their convoluted view of leadership rather than providing real support and guidance to their employees.

Pros

No real pros to working there. Some lovely people work there.

Cons

- I've spent a lot of time researching cult behavior and this place genuinely matches that description. - The company runs on fear, intimidation, and enforced silence because people are terrified of becoming targets. - Leadership turned the entire office into a hostile, tense, and emotionally exhausting environment. - Managers regularly spoke to employees with disrespect and blew up over the smallest issues. - Nobody ever looked comfortable or relaxed whenever management entered the room. - Employees were publicly embarrassed over mistakes that should have been handled professionally and privately. - It is hard to produce quality work in an environment built on fear and manipulation. - I would never recommend this company to anyone looking for a healthy workplace. - I truly wish I had seen reviews like this before accepting a job at Clearstep.
