Pros

Friendly co-worker; everyone cares about the community and making an impact outside of Carhartt; good PTO; free coffee every morning; casual dress code (as long as you have Carhartt on, you can wear jeans); now has a parental leave program!

Cons

need more flexibility in work from home options; benefits could be further improved; leadership plays favorites - very political, but they pretend that they aren't; if you don't become a "favorite", you won't get many growth opportunities; their structure doesn't allow for much career growth; very resistant to change; passive-aggressive conflict style throughout the organization - and this is further rewarded by top leaders; Managers will throw teams under the bus to make themselves look better

We appreciate you sharing your experience at Carhartt and are glad for the positive experiences that you had.

Pros

Decent benefits, good work life balance, great PTO packages

Cons

Hard attendance policy. I provided proof of a terrible thing that happened to my family and doctors notes, they still pulled me into the office and had me sign papers saying it wasn’t approved and threatened my job. This was very stressful. Also for as much change and learning as we are required to do switching from one program to another I believe they should raise Technician pay- order flow and Inventory control all deserve more. Also they had a meeting last year discussing that they justified their pay based on the surrounding market. Inventory control in larger cities make $2-5+ more per hour. It would be a life changing pay bump for many if it were updated. It is also disappointing how many offsite analysts there are, why not employ the locals?
