Pros

The company pays well and offer very good benefits such as 6% 401(k) matching, 3% contribution, premium quality healthcare and 3 weeks PTO. Pay is above average of the industry standard.

Cons

The biggest con is the low quality managers. Extremely hierarchy driven, and too much ego without much competence- that makes the managerial class at Carpenter. They also promote a lot of wrong people in wrong roles just with “noise” instead of proper signals. The company is not growing and it’s been stagnant for decades. They have no intention or direction to grow. The strategy of the company to grow is nothing but a joke. Some high level executives makes some polished slides without any understanding of market and customers. This company doesn’t understand growth and don’t have any bone to enter a new market. It’s also a white boys club with bunch of Alcoa and former consultants running the show. The company wide discrimination against black, brown and anyone non white non Christian is quite evident and an open secret.
