Pros

Well, the only pros are decent pay, remote work option (due 100% to pandemic only), and health benefits.

Cons

Let’s start with the first issue...In all the years I worked for Crown, management has always been a problem. I never felt supported by managers. They focused more on keeping their head above water or following the status quo of bullying and dismissiveness than actually being true leaders. A true sign of poor management from the top down. Second, and by far the most important, serious lack of racial diversity and inclusion at PM, management, and director levels. To think diversity is reflective of people at the bottom of the food chain is short sided and a ridiculous response to a valid question asked year after year of what Crown plans to do about its diversity issues. It’s difficult to want to work hard for a company where you don’t see yourself represented. It reminds you that no matter how hard you work, you’ll never get ahead. Donating money to an organization doesn’t exempt you from the lack of development in your own backyard. It’s a lazy effort to throw money at something you’re complicit in every day. Third, constant re-organization used as a corporate tactic of laying off employees to add “shareholder value”. Typical corporate rhetoric that completely alienates the employees who are the only reason your company HAS value.

Pros

Great place to work. Although there has been a lot of change over the past few years, I feel the company is back on track. Culture has been dramatically improved.

Cons

Not much at this time. Still lots of change ahead though as the company transforms into a tower focused company.

Pros

Depending on who is running your team (I’ve had 3 different team leads in the 3 years that I’ve been a full time employee,) some have provided great mentoring, and have taught me a lot.

Cons

Job security is extremely unstable, and employees often feel like they are one decision away from becoming part of another layoff statistic. In my experience, women were not always treated equitably compared to their male counterparts, depending heavily on the leadership structure within the department. The company also showed limited willingness to accommodate health conditions, often searching for loopholes to minimize support, assistance, or benefits during times when employees and their families needed them most. Leadership roles often felt transactional and tied directly to the company’s immediate operational goals. For example, when a department needed growth, leadership would bring in individuals with strong industry relationships, connections, and expertise to help expand profitability and establish the department. However, once those goals were achieved and the leader’s network or strategic value had been fully utilized, the company would frequently move on from them—either through reassignment or termination—in favor of the next person who fit the company’s evolving objectives. Overall, the culture created an environment where many employees felt expendable rather than valued long-term.
