Pros

ClearSpan offers several convenient in-house services, including consultation and design, engineering, financing, installation, and post-construction support

Cons

During my time at ClearSpan, I experienced a situation where my manager closely monitored every aspect of my work. Despite having a proven track record of successfully managing projects, my manager insisted on being involved in every decision, no matter how small. This included: Requiring daily progress reports and frequent check-ins. Reviewing and approving every email and communication I sent to clients and subcontractors. Insisting on being present at all meetings, even those that were routine and did not require their input. Overriding my decisions without providing clear reasons or trusting my judgment. This level of micromanagement not only slowed down the project but also created a stressful work environment. It hindered my ability to work independently and make timely decisions, ultimately affecting the overall efficiency and morale of the team. There were some PM's handling 40 projects at one time with no support.

Pros

Very interesting work. You get to work with a lot of customers building their potential dream. Seeing a project from a 3D image turn into something in real life is very rewarding. The pay isn't bad either...can easily pull in 80k just by showing up and answering the phone/making calls.

Cons

Very strict working schedule with very little flexibility.

Pros

no travel, didn't have to take the work home with you. You punched out and didn't think about work at night.

Cons

Sat in a cube and spoke with unqualified leads for 95% of the day. Daily call reviews with owner of company who wanted you to sell buildings to people who could not afford them. Sell a non-engineered building to someone that couldn't use it just to make a fast buck. Warranty is total trash and non-existent. Told to promise deadlines that we were unable to achieve in order to make sale. Company printed wrong pricing in catalog to increase call volume. Commission paid 20 days after completion of project; or whenever they feel like it. Told to get off the phone before 10 minutes if customer is unqualified. Other employees are great to work with and very helpful. Very high turn over rate, someone seems to quit every 3 weeks. Was unable to get benefits for the first 90 days (after trial eval period was over). Commissions are capped; typically the commission structure is changed with no input from the sales force at all. Converted a conference room into more work space by sticking 14 cubicles into the space. Interior of building is rundown with duct tape on the carpeting and dust all over the HVAC. Cannot have your cell phone out on your desk or make personal phone calls during the day. If you have no job and need one desperately this can be the place for you. Don't leave your current job for this opportunity.
