Carter's Employer Reviews

I started a month after they first began and many of the people that started with me have either found another job, quit, or looking for another job.

What it really boils down to is that this is a retail job. It has its differences, but overall, employees do the same things here as any other retail position. It's all about customer service- greeting, assisting, following up. Then there's some time answering the phone, processing shipment, folding clothes and straightening/cleaning up after customers. – more... If you have a great team of management and fellow employees, then there's definitely motivation to work and succeed and enjoy working. Everyone I work with is enthusiastic and friendly. We always have smiles ready. There are times when dealing with customers is tough, but it's also really rewarding to help the first-time parents pick out the perfect take-home-from-the-hospital outfit, etc. I recommend a job with Carter's to anyone that likes kids and families, interacting with all different types of people, and someone that with hard work, could move up. – less

working at Carters was a great learning experience. you meet alot of people and they children. You hepl those who is not sure what to get children as gifts or if they are first time parents it great when the customers get excited about the help they receive and the things they purchase.

I usually worked the cash register. I didnt like the hours. It was a store in the mall

I would star by cleaning the tops and helping customers aout. i leard that you could have every customer happy, the shipping and reciving was a great thing to learnd.

Fast paced environment with a strong focus on sales and customer service. Excellent support from upper management on all aspects of retail business. Great co-workers. The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting new people and being able to give the highest possible customer service and seeing return customers.

I liked this job i pulled orders for baby clothes and i also took inventory also boxed up the product and put it on a pallet

It was hard work only if you don't like to stand for long hours. Easy job that can give you long hours.

I enjoyed this company. I picked garments and placed them on racks, operated a computer to change quantity of garments that had been packed.Management was okay.I loved my co workers. They were very helpful. The job was not hard at all. The most enjoyable part was working together as a team.

Performed basic retail duties. Learned a lot about customer service and how the retail world works. The staff worked very cohesively and overall it was a very good place to gain work experience at.

not good management skills but everyone worked together. It was like a family

during my time at carter's i learn a lot about how to run and manage a store and everything that goes into making a store function everyday. this by far was one of my favorite jobs.

My typical day at work is 8 hr shifts 5 days a week. When I get to work I do paper work from previous day, I do open checklist which consist of opening registers counting money and paper work. When we open the main focus is customer service and task are second. My management team is amazing we all work together so we can get our jobs done. The most – more... enjoyable part of my day is making the customers happy. – less

Always re stocking the store. Making sure everything was in order. management was friendly and so was the co-workers the hardest or more challenging part of the job was stock/inventory.

Fun place to work but hours are hard to come by. It is a good environment and the people are very friendly.

Typica work day was to come in prepared to keep sales floor organized and free flowing. Keeping the clothing and accessories in the proper places.
I learned to merchandise children's clothing.
Management was very difficult to work with, because they were not on the same page all the time, which made it very confusing to do my job.
Hardest part was not – more... being heard by management of the workplace issues and problems, that could've been changed.
Most enjoyable part was merchandising the product and seeing the customers enjoy their shopping experience is a clean and organized store. – less

Great place to work, office is centrally located, and benefits are equal to or better than most other companies

Your day could be going from discussing markdowns to choosing marketing shots for a in-home mailer.

Learned to multi-task, work with your team and with other deparments, alot about the children's industry and the other multi-channel branches Carter's is involved in.

Management is a strong aspect of Carter's, always on top of their game.

Co-workers – more... are really great people, we are like a family!

Not a good work life balance.

Enjoying working with children's clothes, things can never be too serious when we're talking about onsies! – less

Pros of this company are the customers. They are awesome. No one comes into a baby store unhappy. I like that Carter's puts their customer and the quality of the clothing at the top of their priority list. This company has also seen substantial growth since it began opening retail locations.

Cons are associated with the amount of growth that has occurred – more... in such a short amount of time. Operations do not run smoothly. Communication from the corporate level is not streamlined. Relevent communication is not given consistantly in a manner that allows for effective planning. – less

i had the opportunity to learn how to multitask in this type of job you have to be fast and efficient
