If you're a quiet quitter, this is your company

Business Outlook

Pros

Crowley operates in many subsidized businesses (i.e. reduced competition) this allows for the quiet quitter to prosper - it makes a lot of money due to reduced competition and affords Crowley to operate in loser businesses perpetually (i.e. Caribbean Liner Service). Also, performance is not what will get you there. If you work remotely or have to come to the office one or two days a week - you won the jackpot - now you can enjoy long walks on the beach, three hour lunches, rounds of golf (keep your phone handy !!!) and pretty much anything else you desire. Good chance your boss is doing the same. Best way to the top is through a family member (yes, nepotism abounds here) and if you are, you don't have to worry about background checks either or being held accountable.

Cons

The cons are numerous, one of the main one's is watching others get credit for work they didn't do or better yet watch someone get a promotion who doesn't have the qualifications but is part of the click. Also, don't worry about the quality of your education - this place is the home of Phoenix University alums.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. A 2022 global workplace report from Gallup determined that only 21% of employees were engaged at work, and most didn't find their work meaningful following the pandemic. The viral term "quiet quitting" is a result of burnout and is not limited to our workforce. We encourage Crowley employees to take advantage of our comprehensive benefits package, as well as, team working agreements and supervisor check-ins to communicate needs and set boundaries, as necessary. We conduct pre-employment screenings on all employees and make employment decisions based on objective criteria. We take your comments as a former employee seriously and urge you to address your job-specific concerns with a member of our human resources team at humanresources@crowley.com .
