Pros

Very relaxed environment...so relaxed people are rarely in the office, Management is rarely around to care, Long lunches, non micromanagement due to lack of leadership availability, Tremendous work/life balance as nobody cares if you show up or not!

Cons

Where to start...leadership is composed of the least inspiring, worst leaders I have encountered in 30 years, leadership team never around, HR is known as Human Resistance department and will never engage, follow up or do any work ( one staff member has 60 absences in 90 days, but HR is unwilling to assist managers, nobody is leading or changing culture, but simply babysitting until his Golden Parachute kicks in when Atlanta transitions all functions to US! Finance department does not empower staff...approvals must be granted before anything is done, and finance turn over in staff is incredible - 10-15 in 2013 and 2014. Corporate tells staff that ethical companies live the values they publish, but Carters does not as they break 2-3 of their 5 - the biggest being Invest in Our People....

Pros

love my coworkers discount is nice pretty easy to move up in positions

Cons

Ive worked here for 7 years and in the last year this company has gone downhill. DMs don't care about anyone but making their bonus at the end of the year. Threatening store closure if we don’t force people to buy more to make sales(read the room). DM disgustingly said he was happy our clothes are becoming more expensive so parents HAVE to finance it and open our card. No work/life balance because of extension of operating hours and only getting one weekend off a month. Missing out on family because they want to be open on almost every holiday(wasting money because no ones shopping) No hours for sales associates while also expecting them to do commission based customer service minus the commission for $12/hr. They essentially want you to get on your hands and knees to beg customers to open a credit card even though you don’t receive any bonuses on opening any except 2 months out the year they feel generous enough to give you a whopping $2 per credit card you open! The pay for store positions is terrible for the amount of work they want you to do. If you see a job opening for this company keep scrolling they couldn’t care less about the employees keeping their stores running.
