Pros

Money can be decent...even better if you know somebody. Very few lay offs for salary employees.

Cons

Micro management...promotions and raises given to undeserving staff and kept secret because they know that it's wrong.

Pros

Outside sales and Regional Managers are great to work with/for. Fact that Carpenter sells in to a variety of industries keeps it interesting. Majority of customers are great and easy to work with.

Cons

Toxic work environment. High pressure to sell more. Manner in which they treat customers is criminal. Bully mentality. Too many people/divisions trying to justify their job. Very cutthroat atmosphere. This leads to everyone trying to throw other people under the bus to make themselves look better.
