Pros

Solid salary starting right out of college at $65k with a ~15% annual bonus. Good benefits and good people. 3 out of 4 managers I had were great. Not a micromanaging environment. Supportive team culture. Starting right out of college, the good managers I had made a big impact in my professional development.

Cons

Very difficult to move up and increase salary. It felt political in a way that you had to know a lot of people very well to move up. During my first year there were team building events that gave me the opportunity to build relationships but that ended very quickly. Difficult to build relationships with colleagues because it felt cliquey by the circle of relationships already established. Constant changes spoken and initiated but never completely rolled out, resulted in poor communication of company goals, initiatives and expectations. Systems and data was unorganized and out of date. During my 5 years it was extremely noticeable how the Crown culture, that was once a high priority, was slowly going downhill. Long tenured employees would mention that this is nothing like the "Old Crown".

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.
