Productive and a fun place to work

CARPENTER (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 25 January 2021

Clark is a good company to work for. The only thing they need to work on is a mentoring program.If you are a hard worker you will fit in just fine..

No mentoring program

Don't live up to their Core values.

Annonymous (Former Employee) - Alberta - 13 November 2020

Very clique driven management group, cover their own backsides at the expense of staff and the project. The carpenters at Frontier were skilled but again the clique attitude was astounding, tattle tale by design, very focused on "what i gain" rather than how the project moves forward.

That about sums it up!!! They had a great employer but they let personalities govern over principles and a company should never do that

Construction Worker (Former Employee) - Maple Ridge, BC - 15 October 2020

Greatest company I would have liked to work there longer but they judged me and tried to do my thinking for me! Unacceptable. I was planning on going as far as I possibly could with Clark builders unfortunately I was let go for no reason other that they could give me after doing my job perfectly safely and efficiently.

Pros

Work hours

Cons

Too serious of an environment

It’s not the company Andy started

Manager (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 14 September 2020

This firm’s reputation and leadership were second to none for decades, but unfortunately those times are behind them. With a leadership more focused on their aesthetic and egoS vs. the wellness of their employees and the quality of their work, it is no surprise that their business is waffling. If it weren’t for Turner, their majority shareholder, Clark’s days would have ended by now. In spite of Turner’s financial support and general oversight of all business operations, Clark has become a toxic workplace with inept, rich kids and narcissistic, power hungry bullies pretending filling the roles of VP. There is some light at the end of this warning, soon, the few solid, honest, and skilled workers that are still suffering through the day to day at Clark will be available for other firms...as the future of Clark is bleak.

Pros

Coworkers were great

Cons

Senior management, culture, integrity

Site Superintendents were hit and miss.

Carpenter (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 26 May 2020

Overall a great place to work if you can take the politics. Working in Edmonton was good but up in Fort MacMurray there was a lot of favouritism. If you worked on one of his former job sites you had it made. If not all the bad jobs were yours. Not just to myself but others felt the same way. And don’t get hurt. That’s the end of working for them too. Didn’t happen to me but others.

Pros

Good wages.

Cons

Management

Not a great company

Carpenter (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 21 March 2020

Don't ever expect to be recognized for any achievements. Management is run in the office with little site feed back, just a numbers game. No raises, no room for advancement. Treat hourly employees poorly and salaried office workers get all the perks

Very Klicky

Senior Estimator (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 29 January 2020

The company was great when I was there but towards the end of my time the company became very klicky where certain groups and people caused problems for others, You work hard all day and then they expected you to work on your time off with no compensation.
