Sound better than they are.

Pros

It's hard to find a reason someone would join this company unless you are unemployed and can walk to work. They have let some of their best talent leave or laid them off.

Cons

They have bad or inexperienced managers who don't effectively manage or communicate requirements. They are trying to get work, but underbid the required time for the quality work expected. They also micromanage your "time" and "billable" hours need to be at least 40.

I thank this person for their review. Internally, we are hyper-focused on feedback, so this data is very helpful in providing us with information to make Carney a valuable place to work – for all of our employees. With regard to the 40-hour requirement comment, like most companies, we do expect our full-time, salaried employees to work at least 40 hours. Employees in this category work, on average, about 43 hours per week at Carney, which we believe supports our goal of a proper work-life balance for employees. For people who desire a different schedule, we offer full-time positions of less than 40 hours as well as part-time positions. All full-time positions, including those of less than 40 hours, come with comprehensive benefits. Employees routinely move between these statuses to find a position that matches their work-life balance requirements as their personal lives change. With regard to the layoffs, we unfortunately did have to make adjustments in the Fall of 2013 and in doing so, were forced to let go of some incredibly talented and valuable people. In looking to the future, the improvements we have made since then are substantial and we are excited about what the future holds. I encourage anyone with questions to email me at hr@teamcarney.com.
