It's a temp agency pretending to be a consulting firm - Consultant Clarke Solutions Employee Review

Thank you for the feedback. The Clarke Companies are committed to creating growth opportunities and long-term employment for our team members. We use the term “on the bench” as it represents team members available for new projects. Likewise, there are many instances where we have employees in long-term, multi-year consulting engagements. The only employees released from employment, bench or not, are released related to cultural fit and/or performance within the company. It is our responsibility to our customers and employees to strike a delicate balance between the ability to respond to changing needs in a fast paced manufacturing environment and offer long-term, stable employment. Clarke compensates all of our consultants as salaried employees and we do not furlough team members between projects. We differentiate ourselves by investing in our consultants, new and seasoned, with on-going training, paid seminars, and opportunities to work with Fortune 500 firms. As you noted, we strive to be transparent and open including the interview process where we advise potential candidates of the percentage of travel they can expect. We believe in a customer service oriented environment where in some cases extended travel may be required to exceed their expectations. We welcome the opportunity to speak with you further about your concerns.
