Pros

great benefits, company has good growth, good career experience, good Atlanta location,

Cons

long hours, most departments lack the proper head count; too many people doing 2 people's work, company would rather hire people from outside the company, rather than promote from within, HR is not helpful or supportive and often borders on the combative side, went from being a small "work family" to a overly-corporate environment

Pros

Some of the pros of working at Carter's: 1) Worked with some nice people which made bad days easier; 2) Employee discount at Carter's stores; 3) Always know the financial status of the company every quarter; 4) The Corporate office building is nice on the inside

Cons

The cons of working at Carter's: 1) HR is extremely involved in the decisions of every department, if you don't work in the actual function you shouldn't decide what is best for that department; 2) Not great for minorities as there isn't much room for promotion (look at the tone at top, you don't see many minorities up there); 3) In relation to promotions, when there is an opportunity to promote employees within and the employee is more than qualified they are skipped over especially when they are a minority; 4) Vacation policy is horrible! You only get a certain amount of days and you don't get anymore days for 10 years! 5) The company has no idea what it wants to do with remote work 6) Some people micromanage too much 7) Projects are always unorganized
