Pros
The salaries and benefits are good. Most employees are friendly, helpful and cooperative. Most supervisors are understanding and fair. Promoting from within the company is encouraged. Carrier is owned by UTC as well as several other companies. If you're willing to relocate, this provides a lot of job opportunities.
Cons
There is normally more work than can be accomplished in a 40-hour work week. Every year managers have to decide which 20% of their department will not get a pay increase whether it is deserved or not. This is a UTC policy enforced at all their companies. Hiring freezes and lay-offs are determined by senior management and pushed down to lower level office workers. Out-sourcing and moving manufacturing out of the US has been on-going for over 20 years.
