Pros

-Ethics and the core values of the organization are practiced. -Carhartt is a growing and stable organization that offers professional growth opportunities. -Strategic planning has become a high priority that is practiced and communicated well throughout the organization. -The employees are very friendly whether you visit the corporate office or a manufacturing facility in the States or Mexico. -Employee turnover is very low throughout the organization. After working for the company for over 10 years I can understand why - great work environment, great benefits, great people to work with, fun job. -Employees feel very passionate about the brand. When you talk to them they seem to have an emotional connection to the brand and company.

Cons

I don't consider it a downside but some people may - we are going through a lot of change as we grow and transform. I think this is exciting but I know change makes some people uncomfortable.

Pros

Strong brand name recognition and decent initial compensation structures.

Cons

The corporate culture is brutally toxic and operates exactly like a high school lunch table—whoever is the loudest or the manager's favorite gets rewarded, while actual performance metrics are ignored. Top performers (even those in the top 5% of sales) are regularly targeted if they do not play the political game. ​Middle management is allowed to operate completely unchecked. There is a pattern of managers fabricating elaborate, false narratives about employees—including manipulating the perception of approved expense reports and territory mileage—to force them out. HR acts entirely as a shield for these toxic managers rather than an impartial department. They blindly accept management's narratives without conducting fair investigations or listening to the accused. Furthermore, management actively stalks and monitors employees' personal social media accounts, even when those employees are out on approved medical leave, and HR explicitly defends this invasion of privacy as acceptable.
