Great Longterm Option for Family Oriented Employees

Service supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is competitive. Insurance options are unmatched, and cost effective. Ample opportunities for different positions are available as the company is aggressively growing its workforce.

Cons

Accountability is lacking from top to bottom. If someone makes a significant mistake or goals aren't met, there's a "we'll get em next time" mentality, rather than corrective actions. There needs to be a heavier emphasis on leadership development and coaching throughout a leaders career, rather than a few touch points by the training department.

Business Outlook

Pros

Carter is invested in growing: rental fleet, sales fleet, employees, locations. There will be no shortage of opportunities in the next few years.

Cons

There's a lot of nepotism..playing favorites, and brown nosing. Company is very much about playing politics to get ahead, which means there's a lot of people in positions who have no business being managers/leading. There's almost no training. You have to take the initiative to reach out to experienced people yourself. Very little diversity...It's a mostly white male dominated industry and company.
