Pros

1 Weekend Day Off Monthly $100 Reimbursement on certain needs Salary Free CLEAR Membership (No Travel Perks)

Cons

I just want to start with this review is an overview of my experience in DENVER and relates directly to upper management. For some background, I am a now former Operations Manager for CLEAR, and had been with the company for 2.5 years. I started my career with Clear in 2020 in Chicago as an ambassador, and was promoted/relocated 3 times in 2 years. I loved my career at Clear and saw myself being here for a very long time. To make a very long story short, the GM and AGM that are currently there do not care about you unless you are making them money or doing everything they ask you to do. I let this job over the past year destroy my mental health and turn me into someone I did not like. They’ve let their top performers scream at and disrespect managers and do nothing about it. They’ve referred to people of color (African Americans specifically) as “Team Africa” behind closed doors, which they did so comfortably in front of me as the only person of color in management at the time. They give privileges to those not who do their job well and correct, but again will do what they say. Doesn’t matter if they have to lie, cheat, steal, or manipulate to get there. I never felt comfortable sharing my thoughts, never felt comfortable asking for help, and never felt comfortable sharing any concerns that my employees had or asking for guidance because upper management had no problem belittling you for just about anything out of line with what they wanted to hear. There is no real open door policy for anyone. Almost always if you have a conversation with 1, the other is present so they can wait for you to say something they can use against you and bounce off of each other. No use in speaking up on your concerns anyway, it’s just a hassle for them to take care of, or it’s because of their benefit.

Awful

Pros

PTO, AAA like discounts page, work from home.

Cons

This company started out good in 2021 when I was first hired, but after their West Coast Ops manager was hired, it all went down hill fast. Extremely aggressive micromanaging, with customer satisfaction scores that are near impossible to keep up. If a survey has nothing to do with you, they will still count it against you and give you a write up. I was less than 1% below my customer satisfaction goal and I got a performance write up. If your internet provider goes out, guess what, you get an “occurrence” which can lead to termination. If the equipment they sent you is faulty, you get an “occurrence” and lose out on pay for the day until they send you new equipment. They also offer “stretch projects” which is a fancy way of saying you’ll do work over your pay grade for a temporary amount of time so they don’t have to give you a raise. They’ll promise you that you’ll get the position after the stretch project is done, but will turn around and tell you they want to try other people for the position, but that the decision wasn’t performance based. Doctors notes are no longer accepted as an excused absence, and you can get terminated for leaving due to a medical emergency if you don’t have the PTO to use. You can have 30 5 star surveys from members, but if you have 4 below 3 star surveys, this will negatively impact you so much that you will get a write up. You are expected to have a minimum of 92% customer satisfaction, or else you’re threatened with termination. Their “coaching” for this is basic knowledge that will in no way affect how the member sees the company. Oh? The customer hated the ambassador that helped them at the airport and gave YOU, the member care service agent that helped them, a bad review? Tough luck, should have helped the member better, this will count against you. Oh? You’re scheduled to work on Christmas or Thanksgiving and are looking forward to your holiday pay? Good luck, even if you are scheduled to work that day, you have to APPLY to work and they only pick 20 people for the entire day. Don’t get picked? Tough luck, no pay for that day, even though you were scheduled. Also, there are no bonuses, and very very minuscule raises (like less than ¢50 raises). Huge team lead turnover on top of that. I’ve had 4 different team leads in the past 2 years. At one point I was considered one of the top 10 customer service employees for this company. That means nothing now.

Beware!

Pros

Competitive salary base, reasonable work schedule and a mission that aligns with real purpose.

Cons

No career advancement opportunities. Toxic, almost hostile corporate culture. Considerable leadership and employee turnover company wide. Limited training and professional development. Tech company with terrible support system. No performance management or development program. Little to no annual reviews or pay increases. Commission based for service attendants. If you can't sell you can't stay employed.
