Pros

They wont fire you because they are too desperate for employees

Cons

The work structure is unbelievably flawed. The owner of the company stepped in to manage, this has created a very hostile work environment as the operations team no longer goes from manager to president to owner it just goes straight from ops to owner. The team is getting asked to do the job of 15 positions while only barely getting paid for 1. The hiring team uses hostile and manipulative measures of recruiting new employees by targeting people ages "35-55" with "No want to improve or be promoted" as well as those who "desperately need income and are too old to job hop" or "single parents". They are also targeting people who work in " worse positions like those in overnight shifts or fast food restaurants" so that way they will be "grateful for this job because it isn't as bad as their last" candidates have been repeatedly been turned down because they are "Too young, too energetic, not desperate enough, overqualified, will want to get promoted, or financially good with their money". Long story short the hiring practices of this company are outrageous and should shut this company down. At this point, the staff is so mistreated and overworked that everyone begins to fight within the ops team solely because they are too stressed and tired and not because they even have anything to argue about. By the time you leave work at the end of the day the whole team is so mentally drained that it makes no one want to come back to work the next day. The owner is out of touch with the world and his employees and is constantly leaving the rest of the companies departments in the dark about how bad the working conditions of the ops department is and how many people have already quit in the past 3 weeks alone with many more to follow. Please do yourself a favor and do not apply for this job. Oh and we were forced while at work to write the positive reviews to try and counteract the old bad reviews.

Crown Data Systems Response

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. We have had quite a few employees who have returned to Crown recognizing the opportunities the company provides. The vast majority of employees are under 30 and can't think of a time we hired an overnight shift or fast food restaurant employee. However if you run into one that can qualify and help us out please send the person our way.

Pros

Technical excellence as an expectation, little or no red tape around process, no on call, world class production deployment systems. High impact roles with direct visibility into your work translating to customer outcomes.

Cons

There are legacy systems in place that must be interfaced with, which can provide technical challenges. Those systems are planned to be replaced but until then it provides constraints on implementing solutions.

Pros

Nice kitchen in the Buffalo office, but no one does their own dishes. Business is so slow you can read, watch movies, and play video games at your desk.

Cons

NEPOTISM - President hired his daughter and when she could not do the job she was hired for, she was moved to another department, promoted, and given a 20% raise while the rest of the staff was given 3.5%. Severely outdated software. Eng/Dev is run by a person who is not interested in or qualified to update it and has no idea what the customers actually need in an effective software. Will not promote from within. Support team morale is almost non-existent - they struggle to support the lackluster software that doesn't work. New products are promised, take forever to deliver (if at all) and when they are released they are so full of bugs that they barely function.
