The Clark Group of Companies

Overall Clark was an awesome place to work, flexible with asking for time off, Full benefits and holiday bonuses. One area of critique is that upon giving notice for taking another job, there was no counter offer provided. My position wasn't especially valued in contrast with other departments and individuals. The pay was entry level while the work was more intermediate and complex tasks and ideas involved even higher skills and attention to detail. There are yearly pay increases but they are far below most cost-of-living pay increases.
Pay increases were re-absorbed by insurance increases and taking out more matching 401K was a more lucrative route than expecting adequate pay raises.

When I worked there, riding passenger in their trucks, I was making $11/ hr..  From 2021 and on they started making $14+/ hr.  I didn’t have much reason to not enjoy the work I did.  Assisting your route driver unload and stock gas stations and stores with drinks is fairly easy.  Occasionally there might be a manager we didn’t prefer checking in with, but it was another “go with the flow” scenario.  The work isn’t completely demanding, and I felt as if the CDL drivers and management were truly looking out for me.  Sometimes a truck might break down until the company either  sends someone to come fix it, or sends another truck to get you back on the road.  Whether the truck is broken down, you’re needed to help inside the warehouse, or another driver needs help on another route there were plenty of opportunities for overtime.  

Was so excited about a future with this company, until it really set in that they don't care about you as a person/employee. Even still they tried to make you so excited about the things to come. I believed it at first. Then you realize that they truly only care about money for their individual selves and NOT about you & your family's financial well-being. I put so much time in my accounts, push their product so hard, but it never it mattered. All you'll get is a handshake and a thanks for try to improve the accounts. It was incentive pay at first. Then they did a "change-up" and said it's now merged with your paychecks. Was a lie. It was never a difference of $20-$40 and that wasn't every week. In summary: it's a waste of your life unless you like kissing alot of butt.

This place is has run down equipment that hardly works. Management has no clue on what is going on. The driver manager has never driven a truck before and has no clue on how to schedule routes. Trucks are falling apart. Half there fleet has expired tags and no insurance in the truck. They tell you 45-50 hours a week but you end up working 70 plus hours. Most of the managers are out of the office by 4 o’ clock so if you have problems then you pretty much have to figure it out on your own. Trucks say driver carries no cash but you have to collect payments. If you’re short on payment from a customer, they threaten to take it out of your check.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The discount on drinks and gifts at the picnic once a year if your lucky enough to get something

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Making sure you are doing your best to pick enough every hour to maintain your average 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is OK to work there as soon long as your cool and they like you then you will be ok but if your not cool they can make it pretty rough on a person 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go in at 4am and restocked inventory until 7am then we started getting all of the orders ready to be wrapped and loaded

Get up and be at the warehouse at 5 a.m and most likely won’t get off until between 5-9 p.m. management does not care about you. You’re just another drink slinger. No lunch breaks. No breaks period. No water provided even when it’s near 100 degrees outside. Work in rain then going into coolers you’re gonna get sick. Expect you to come in while you’re sick. Have to beg for time off and then you’re punished. Salesmen load down your truck and offer no help. They do not want you to better yourself in anyway. I was threatened to be fired because I was taking night classes. This used to be a great company. I heard so many great things about it but that was then. This is now.

I worked there for over 3 years with no advancement opportunities. After receiving a Bachelor's degree, promises for growth were made. However they only hired outside males with no experience. It is a 'good ol boy's culture in order to advance. Be prepared to work 50+ every week. Insurance is a joke. $45 a week for single coverage that won't pay for in network. Also, at the time I left, noone in KY was considered in network but opting out of coverage was no allowed. Good luck getting ahold of anyone I'm the office either. I've been trying for weeks. I would not work there again or recommend anyone to work there.

This place will work you to AN EARLY GRAVE most trucks go out with between 900-1200 cases with 13 or more stops they expect you to make each delivery no matter how long it takes the pay doesn't match the work 15 cents for each case you deliver plus like $120 a day driver helpers only make $11hrs drivers go over legal driving hrs each day some days you get to work your truck might not be loaded if not they expect you to help wearhouse pull orders mostly everyone is gone by 3-4 so if you have any questions or concerns you can't reach no one this place really need to revaluate itself company is going down by the second

What is the best part of working at the company?
Wasn’t trained and rules changed everyday. Lots of clicks
Not very organized. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is a lot of secrets going on. Not everyone does their fair share

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Most everybody, there is an alcoholic they live to drink the beer and they custody each other like dogs. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Not very busy so looked for things to do to make all my hours

A typical day at work is when you get there, you have to get all your
things together for that route. Then you get your computer and make sure you have all the stops in the computer for that day. You will learn how to communicate and work as a team. The co-workers will help you if you was to ask. The hardest part about the job is lifting the drinks and getting in and out of the truck so much. The most enjoyable part about the job is communicate with other people and meeting new people.
