Pros

Carpenter has a lot of potential. I worked in the Dynamet facility which is not located at the corporate headquarters. I enjoyed working with some of the people, and felt that the company needs more direction to be successful. You are always busy and there are many areas that can be easily improved for great benefits.

Cons

The leadership is very difficult to work with. There is a clear rift between the "union" and office employees making working with both teams very hard. One particular financial executive is very difficult to work with and if you work for him everyone sees you in a negative light. You will be promised things to get this job that won't be true. The company will not invest any money in the necessary technology to complete this job correctly. There is absolutely no way to export journals for reconciliation. Good luck.
