Pros

Great customers, Brampton a tough market for its customer base. High loss of product due to external.

Cons

Poor wage for staff. No reviews for associates. No increases based on performance just government increases. No recognition incentives. Lack of updated systems to truly impact business and small stockrooms.

Pros

Discount on clothes and accessories Very low pressure, slow pace- lots of time to accomplish tasks Very relaxed environment; no pressure

Cons

No development from district/regional level Unrealistic goals which are rooted in ideal projections, not comp or trend data. District leaders have no visibility or transparency, will spend minimal time in store and offer no support Focus on driving sales but no discussion or focus on how. “Get it done” mentality without development or discussion on how Poor wages for most staff; majority of leadership are on temporary contracts so roles are uncertain While Carter’s presents itself as an open and supportive company, many jokes will be made by upper management regarding “retards”. Incredibly disappointing to see from any employer. All employees including management are on hourly pay, with harsh follow up for any overtime (even minutes). 3 yearly blackout periods (high for retail) No training or development programs put in place for any team members Choice was made to keep the DM role open for a high volume district heading in to Christmas, leaving no support for managers and teams. Majority of internal promotions are based on desperation (no recruiting support); good if you want to move up quickly, but you won’t receive support or development once you hit a higher role.
