Pros
You know you are working for a great company when you enjoy the people and the work you do every day. Crain is the kind of organization where people are empowered to make a difference at the company every day. Senior leadership is inspiring and supportive, which is a hallmark of a great company. Benefits are solid, PTO is terrific, and the company has a fun charitable program, localized to each city, where employees determine which causes to participate in every year. As far as privately-held companies go, the Crain family is very generous to their employees, which exceeded my expectations. I am proud to be part of an organization that is confident with its strategic direction, and is successful in its market.
Cons
Moving a print media company to digital is a heavy lift, which means extra time and effort across all departments to support the transition. Work/life balance challenges exist from time to time.
