You have fixed effects: that is what -clogit- is giving you. If you do
not want fixed effects than -clogit- is the wrong command.
I don't think that the - predict(pu0)- option in -margins- is what you
want as it is a rather weird hybrid between average marginal effects
and marginal effects at average values of explanatory variables. The
fixed effects are implemented such that the value 0 represents the
average (which is why you have a constant in -clogit-). So your
margins command gives you marginal effects averaged over your observed
variable but at the same time fixing the fixed effects at its average.
The best thing you can do is work with odds, odds ratios, and ratios
of odds ratios.
Hope this helps,
