Great Career Opportunities for Diesel/Generator Technicians
Pros
Carter has some of the best benefits in the industry, including but not limited to retirement contributions, health insurance, travel reimbursements, hotel loyalty points, and more. The work environment is superb, with a culture driven toward safety and security, so you never feel unsafe or undervalued. They invest lots of time and money into their technicians to get the education and hands-on experience they need to succeed in their field. Lots of respect toward the company's dedication to building up their mechanics. They post jobs internally first, always, making it that much easier for you to advance in your career
Cons
If you do not sell yourself during the initial interview process, you can be stuck in the lower part of the pay bracket based on your job title and department (construction and rental departments), and that is one heck of an obstacle to overcome. I have seen many techs get discouraged because they sold themselves short during onboarding, and have fought tooth and claw to prove their worth over several years to get the pay raises they deserved in the first place. Also some departments have an "in-crowd" or a clique, and if you're not in the clique, you will be looked down on by those in control. But you can switch departments pretty easily after one year of being in your current role
