Pros
Carolina Handling does an excellent job at bringing in good people. The introduction to the vision, company culture, and the expectations is what every company should do. Health and dental benefits are pretty good, and the 401k is great. You're constantly challenged to push yourself and your teammates, which allows for tons of personal growth. There is a lot of autonomy given to associates to do their jobs and to be creative.
Cons
The company has grown tremendously, as well as the workload. At times, the "Big Picture" gets to be too big of a priority at the middle management level, and interferes with the responsibility of satisfying customer requests. There is a constant stream of changes in our processes that are meant to to help, but often become hindrances, and are almost always worked around. Despite having great financial performances year after year, good performing associates pay increases do not stack up. Competitors are regularly offering 20% more in pay for associates to leave Carolina Handling. The communication gap between management and employees grows everyday.
