Pros

Decent benefits with 401k and life insurance

Cons

I was terminated after 9 years of very loyal service because I toyed with the idea of opening an embalming service as a side line. Did not affect Carriage in any way and I never even started it. Just registered the name so I could have it. They did not follow their own employee handbook in regard to such matters. It was really a way to lower payroll by replacing me with a newcomer at half salary or less. They don't care about people only $$$$

Pros

If you work with pleasant people and a great manager, as I do, it's a blessing. Helping and caring for families can be rewarding.

Cons

Pay is horrible. My job title has different salaries, depending on where I work. I would make less money working closer to the nearest city and would earn a dollar more if I worked further away. If they advertise a salary on the internet, they will negotiate with you to be paid at a lower salary, despite advertising differently. Corporate doesn't seem to care very much about their "front line" workers. Corporate puts an insane amount of stress on managers and in the long run will cost the company having good, dependable employees.
