Best job I've had in a long time

Pros

The team here is really supportive and passionate, and most of the people you'll work with are able to leave their ego at the door. I've never bumped into someone who didn't make time to help me with something, regardless of how busy they might be. Some of the best people I've had a chance to work with, work here. Crystal has a growth structure in place for those who want to climb "the ladder". If you're a "go getter" and want responsibility, you can get the opportunity to do that here. Management at all levels really seems to care about the individuals working here.

Cons

Production schedules have been a challenge in the past, but honestly, no different than other places I've worked.

Pros

Crystal is a great place to be. Lots of great talent. Great HR department, just good folks all around. They really do look out for you and try there best to meet and possible needs you may have.

Cons

Crystal is a bit different is some areas, but honestly every company is a bit different in how they do things. Once you get past your comfort zone and actually start working with other team members it really becomes a nice place to be.
