Pros

Crane Worldwide Logistics is a relatively new company comprised entirely of leadership from the former EGL. They are well funded and operate relatively debt free. For their age, they have a pretty decent global network and are open to expansion where a business case exists.

Cons

The most important thing to understand about CWW is that from top to bottom and everywhere in the middle, CWW is run by older white sales guys. Every Regional VP is a salesman, every District Director is a sales guy. Most station managers are sales guys. This leads to a gulf of understanding when it comes to the nuts and bolts of operations, the setting of unrealistic expectations, and a total dearth of operational support from above. Crane Worldwide also lacks any type of training program whatsoever. This doesnt just include theoretical training that would improve ones job performance but amazingly even the technical training on how to use their own operating system. When you are hired you are either given a chair behind an already overworked operator for a few hours or simply given a stapled bunch of screenshots and told to get to work. That is the extent of training at CWW. This leads to an extreme diversity in abilities from office to office and a wildly inconstant product. While they pride themselves on their technology package it's generally all a charade. All shipment milestones are done manually if they are remembered at all. It would be akin to typing a search into Google and having someone on the other side have to go to another search engine, find the answer, and then come back and type it back in so you could see it. The trustworthieness of their data is limited at best.

Pros

- remote - great quarterly incentive - modern tech stack

Cons

The biggest downside of working at Crane is the top down culture of micro management. This includes daily checklists for jira updates, tracking software that tracks things such as who you talk to most on Teams, code reviews that focus more on formatting and white spaces rather than logic and delivering value, and the list goes on. Crane was not like this when I first joined and the IT department grew substantially, but I think chalking it up to scaling is more of an excuse than true root cause. Additionally, communication from leadership is awful and paired with the micromanagement leads to low morale across the engineering team.
