Pros

It was a great company until new management took over. Good co-workers, employees that care.

Cons

They have dumped all there benefits 401K match - Gone, Profit Sharing Gone, Medical Benefits deplorable. They are also selling off publications, or scaling back publication frequency. I have grave concerns, looks like they are fixing the p/l for a sales. I would think twice for getting involved.

We appreciate your feedback and thought we’d address some of your concerns. Since our founding in 1916, sharing the success of the company with employees has been a fundamental principal of Crain Communications and the Crain family. For 100 years, Crain has consistently shared profit with employees and will continue to do so. We are establishing a culture that rewards success at the corporate, brand and personal level. Our 2017 Total Rewards Plan does include a profit-sharing plan for all full-time employees, a voluntary retirement savings plan and a performance bonus rewarding employees for hitting corporate, brand and personal goals. Our optional benefits include a comprehensive health care plan, health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts, vision, dental, EAP (Employee Assistance Program), long and short-term disability, life insurance for all employees and additional coverage for employees, their legal spouse and dependent children. Many of these benefits are provided at no cost to employees and Crain shares in the cost of the remaining benefits. We also have a generous PTO program with options to “buy” additional PTO days each year. If you still have concerns or would like additional information about our Total Rewards Program, please contact a Crain HR representative and we’d be happy to provide you with additional information.
