It was good for a while

Pros

I may struggle here. Most of the individuals I worked with were great. What was good when I joined Clear, seemed to disappear as the company evolved. Initially I liked the collaboration and opportunities to lead and take on additional responsibilities. These important characteristics disappeared during my time at Clear.

Cons

"Leadership" in my area seemed more intent on cementing their places and influence in the org, than on truly growing a team, and certainly did not seem interested in individual growth (at least not in my team). Clear seems to have become a revolving door, a reflection of floundering actions by senior management. It was really sad to watch the contagious enthusiasm I saw and felt when I joined Clear, gradually disappear during my time there.

It's not bad

Business Outlook

Pros

Pros would be that u would be working at the airport and servicing customers in the lane, the job is not hard, but the hardest part would be waking up every day, and depending on the people that you work with, time either goes by fast or slow, managers are so-so, they definitely have their favorites, but the pay is good for just standing for 8 hours a day, a good starting point if you are early in your career

Cons

not as much growth unless u want to climb the managerial ladder, I would say the favoritism and lack of sick hours is definitely the worst part about the whole thing, but sometimes u are stuck in the lane where u don't like, other times, u get sent to lunch way too early, other times the commute from the parking lot is kinda a hassle, there's some benefits, and commission, but it's definitely not the end all be all

Job, not a career

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are on a team that is easy, there is not much real work. Unlimited PTO is nice.

Cons

Career growth is impossible - you are dangled along with false promises of growth or a promotion. Acts like FAANG but pays nowhere near FAANG. 5 day RTO starting April 1. Why work here when Amazon wants 5 day RTO, pays better and crushes your soul the same? Chronically understaffed, putting more work on employees. Leadership indifferent to the plight of people working in the trenches. High attrition, even at senior leadership levels.
