Pros

Good benefits, was rarely asked to work more than 40 hours per week

Cons

Felt like a number to the company and not a person, our team had way too much work so we were perpetually behind for nearly two years, employees are asked to pick up the slack of Crown's flawed business model and poor strategic decisions, never had any opportunity for career advancement, the work was dull and repetitive, overall management felt poor and typically prioritized manager convenience over work efficiency, Crown mandated too many training courses most of which felt unnecessary, making people come into the office three days per week felt unnecessary after the job had been fully remote earlier on, processes and procedures were constantly changing in the name of "innovation" but it was mostly just unhelpful and confusing

Pros

Great place to work. Although there has been a lot of change over the past few years, I feel the company is back on track. Culture has been dramatically improved.

Cons

Not much at this time. Still lots of change ahead though as the company transforms into a tower focused company.

Pros

Depending on who is running your team (I’ve had 3 different team leads in the 3 years that I’ve been a full time employee,) some have provided great mentoring, and have taught me a lot.

Cons

Job security is extremely unstable, and employees often feel like they are one decision away from becoming part of another layoff statistic. In my experience, women were not always treated equitably compared to their male counterparts, depending heavily on the leadership structure within the department. The company also showed limited willingness to accommodate health conditions, often searching for loopholes to minimize support, assistance, or benefits during times when employees and their families needed them most. Leadership roles often felt transactional and tied directly to the company’s immediate operational goals. For example, when a department needed growth, leadership would bring in individuals with strong industry relationships, connections, and expertise to help expand profitability and establish the department. However, once those goals were achieved and the leader’s network or strategic value had been fully utilized, the company would frequently move on from them—either through reassignment or termination—in favor of the next person who fit the company’s evolving objectives. Overall, the culture created an environment where many employees felt expendable rather than valued long-term.
