Carrier Reviews

Pros

Employee Scholar Program is the best thing the company offers. It WAS 100% direct pay to the college or university, plus a stock or cash bonus upon graduation.

Cons

Employee career development is advocated on the corporate and national level, but not followed through with on the local, ground level near as much as it should.

Advice to Senior Management

Truly value your people and they innovations they are capable of generating. Selling off divisions of the company (CSD) leaves loyal employees disillusioned.

Pros

Carrier is great at what it does. My experience was that decisions were generally made after a great deal of analysis, thought and discussion had been put in. The company is very focussed on delivering results to shareholders - this is why we are all primarily in business. There are some great learning opportunities at the company. Opportunities to learn how to execute and deliver superlative performances.

Cons

Too much focus on the bottom-line can kill morale and come back to bite the company. Several projects involving manufacturing consolidation were an absolute disaster for Carrier and should never have been approved.

The focus is very much on making quarterly numbers. It's great for financial performance however, there tends to be limited investment in marketing programs to drive market share in the future.

Promotion from within is rare and the company prefers to hire from outside. That means there are limited opportunities for Senior Management or Executive roles for people from within. It's best for ambitious folks to come in, learn, grow and move to a higher position at a different company.

At almost 50, the average age of salaried employees is fairly high. The company is struggling to bring in younger folks to prepare for the future and will continue to do so unless the culture changes. I guess this is a problem with many companies in the US.

The employee performance review process and annual feedback surveys etc are all unhelpful, unnecessary and a waste of resources. Employees pushing paper to make management happy.

Advice to Senior Management

Create an inviting culture for Gen X and Gen Y
Promote more from within. The devil you know is better than the angel you don't.
Be more marketing focussed. There's a good reason why Carrier has been consistently losing market share over the last 15 years.
