Pros

Decent pay for work involved, nice store atmosphere, room for constant improvement, promotion, etc.

Cons

not all workers share the same values, sometimes the commission pay can get competitive between different workers. Service in the full stores and the outlet is totally different.

Pros

Store level employees are great and some areas have managers who have worked great together for many years.

Cons

This company is in trouble. Newly hired upper management come from businesses like Brookstone, T-Mobile, and The Discovery Channel Store, which all had large layoffs while these people were there. Since they have come to Clarks, they have opened a new multimillion dollar home office and instituted half day Fridays for the home office staff that we need support from in the retail stores. While showing off this new glass tower of theirs through a company wide conference, they follow up with pay cuts for staff members in the retail stores and a change in the pay plan that gives no incentive for success. The planning process for layoffs and store closings is already started. Moving upwards with this company is not possible even if you are successful. The upper management has stopped developing the employees we have and say they are looking for "new talent," bringing on employees from their past businesses. Clarks is limping right now and employee morale is at an all time low. Don't come to work for this company until these managers leave to destroy the next. You won't have any form of job security.

Pros

Good health benefits .. vacations time is good until they take that away .. good employee discount

Cons

There is no longer an option to move up in the company as they are eliminating assistant managers and full time team leaders , they will be phasing the remainder full time employees and replacing us with part time .... if your looking for a manager position your in luck .. because they are only hiring from the outside . Clarks Americas is giving a very bad name to the company because of the way they treat their employees... they have gotten extremely shady and dishonest
