Pros

The co-workers who do the work are talented, team players, great individuals that are all experiencing the same hostile work environment. Most days leadership can be avoided since they are either "working from home while not accomplishing any deadline items assigned to them" or holding their day long gripe sessions to determine their next shady move to make. Employees can usually plan to have three days to be able to complete work and two days of either trying to figure out what is being asked of them or trying to overcome the hostile working environment.

Cons

Poor management is an understatement, no management or leadership is the norm or expectation. Leadership's idea of management is a daily re-enactment of the movie Mean Girls. Promotions and leadership is offered to the friends, individuals or club members. Current leadership at the San Antonio location does not have the necessary experience and education requirements, but instead have the cut-throat, political, demoralizing characteristics needed promote the hostile environment. Avoid the home office and HR department at all cost if you are at the San Antonio location, unless you view contacting HR as your resignation letter.

Pros

I was at Carney for a while, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best places I’ve worked. The leadership team genuinely cares about employees, and there’s a real sense of collaboration here. The culture is supportive, and work-life balance is respected. There’s a strong emphasis on quality, but without micromanagement. If you’re self-motivated and enjoy working on interesting projects with smart, driven people, this is the place to be. Like any company, there are challenges, but leadership is always open to feedback and actively works to make things better. Overall, a great company with great people!

Cons

Not necessarily cons for Carney, but they are a federal contractor which means we have to deal with federal people who sometimes are difficult. My work was remote which I like, but means I only got to see people on Teams or when there are socials every few months. As a small company, they don't have as many formal processes that I was used to from larger organizations.

Pros

Flexibile work schedule, no micromanagement and you are encouraged to do your job, some remote opportunities, good healthcare plan options, internal company leave donation program.

Cons

Limited opportunity for upward mobility or growth, a slow-growing PTO system when first starting with the company, with no room to negotiate.
