Pros

I left the hospitality industry after about 10 years to work for Crew and I could not be happier with my decision! Crew promotes a fun, safe, collaborative, and all around enjoyable work environment. From day one I was given the support and tools I needed to be successful within my role. Each day I have been encouraged by my fellow managers and associates to put my best foot forward. I have found myself learning and lot and growing and I am very happy with the current path that I am on. Each day I am excited to go to work to put smiles on our customers’ faces and spend time with my awesome coworkers.

Cons

Only real con I have encountered is dealing with the weather. This is a year-round job in which you spend the vast majority of your shift outside. You have to be adaptable to all weather conditions - rain, snow, wind, sun, humidity, etc. Thankfully, Crew provides resources to assist in combating the weather such as popsicles and electrolyte drinks for the summer heat, and hot chocolate, coffee, and hand warmers for cold winter days. With safety being Crew’s number 1 value, several measures are in place to ensure team members can perform this job and serve our customers safely in all weather conditions.

Pros

Some things I truly enjoy about crew is the growth you’re able to make within the company. I started as a full time associate, now I’m a shift manager looking into going into maintenance. Theres a lot of opportunities here within the company you just need the opportunity.

Cons

Very strict rules and guidelines for nonsensical acts. I don’t want to be nit picky or anything what so ever and i understand that we want to be profitable and hold each other accountable. But one thing I would like to see change in is easing the restrictions along personal promotion when service advising. Does the CFM work and are we profitable, yes but almost all of my associates here at my location feel like robots and it’s undermining how they feel just to be profitable.
