Pros

Good salary and benefits. Not as good as the large publicly traded company I previously worked for, but I was miserable there. Now, I get to design and create cool stuff while working with a great engineering team that can get things done. Management style is no barriers (ie-you will talk to the CEO) with an almost flat structure.

Cons

Work can get chaotic with limited outside support. However, this is common in a small company environment.

Pros

Great atmosphere and wonderful people. They have a card that covers most insurance costs making our benefits package much more useful.

The facility that I work in is slightly understaffed.

Pros

Getting hired at Clear Align was easy, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with some amazing people. I truly enjoyed the colleagues I worked with.

Cons

At Clear Align, it quickly became "CLEAR" that many of my colleagues shared the same sentiment. I was constantly reminded that I had made a mistake by joining the company, which was unsettling. Though I was only there for a short time, I frequently heard negative comments about the owner and the toxic environment. Whenever I asked for clarification, the response was always the same: 'You'll find out,' accompanied by a knowing smirk. And I did. The owner proved to be extremely difficult to work for. 'Micro-managing' didn’t even begin to describe it. The constant yelling and condescending remarks created a hostile and unprofessional atmosphere. I knew I had to leave. One piece of advice: do not advocate for yourself. Doing so could result in termination or retaliation by the owner.
