Pros

Great environment to work in. Great staff. Great benefits. Fun product to work with. Fun people to work with, and for. Very rewarding.

Cons

Hours for associates are hard to come by. There's a little too much drama in this particular location. Salary is not enough to show 'thanks' for all that you do. - It's not hard work, it's just a LOT of work.

Pros

Great corporate setting and great location Great product, easy to be proud of this brand Great balance of traditional corporate jobs mixed with lots of creative positions Nice job perks Smart, talented people Will allow employees to stretch and take on projects outside of traditional job scope

Cons

Political environment Definitely attract smart people but want followers more than break out leaders Should communicate to employees at all levels more frequently about the business Business meetings are uplifting and informative but usually target higher level employees Doesn't feel like an inclusive environment unless you are Director level or above

Pros

The office space is nice

Cons

This is the most toxic and dreadful experience of my career. I found out my position was one of a revolving door. Five people in five years. I thought it was a compliment that there are so many tenure employees. What that means for Carter’s is if you’re not a part of this “group of warriors” you’re an outsider. Your suggestions and ideas are not welcome. It’s no wonder the company isn’t doing well and there were layoffs!
