Pros

Carrier offers good work life balance. People are easy to get along with and it is a good crowd to work with. You get the opportunity to pick up some really good experience.

Cons

Carrier is totally focused on short term results - the company chases quarterly and even monthly sales/margin numbers. Everything else takes a back seat. There is practically no long term plan in place. Management is satisfied focusing on the short term results as that is what their bonuses are tied to. Individual contributions are seldom recognized and almost never rewarded. From a career standpoint, you end up going in circles. There is little scope for advancement typically as the company is extremely cost focused so they end up short-changing employee pay and avoid moving people up (if they do) too fast in an attempt to save cost. The company has some good brands but their cost focus is killing these brands. Overall, this company can be avoided.

Advice to Senior Management

Wake up and show some leadership. Plenty of feedback has been provided yet nothing is done about it. It is extremely sad to see management drive a slow death for a 100 year old iconic brand. People make companies, not cost savings.
