      Pros

      We had a great team environment and very clear goals. The management team always made a strong commitment to operational excellence from the top down.

      Cons

      Sometimes driven by economic indicators than long term strategy. There can be some second guessing or 'about-faces' over a short term period but even this is done for the long term good of the company through the eyes of Wall Street.

      Pros

      Carpenter is considered one of the top metals companies for which to work. It is a long-established company with a good industry reputation. When opportunities become available, a good employee who works hard can move forward in his/her career. Depending on the executive environment, innovation is valued. Base salaries can be lucrative and benefits (medical, etc.) are some of the best in any industry.

      Cons

      Mid-upper management is still an old boy club. Long-time employees fall in two categories: change agents who want to continue to contribute at a high level but are relegated to support or special project roles with little influence or incompetent/jaded workers who are tolerated until retirement. New employees are not mentored enough; overworked and often told to "wait in line" for earned promotions or pay raises. Work/life balance is difficult to maintain the higher one goes and people who value it are pegged as not team players.
