Pros

Glasses actually look pretty cool. The women are fantastic.

Cons

Thought about writing a review before but didn't want to be the first one to do it. Can confirm all the claims made by previous post. CEO is petty and throws tantrums like an actual child, then will do a complete about-face and expect you to just shake it off because he's over it. At one point I was convinced that he was setting such unrealistic expectations and deadlines because he enjoyed embarrassing employees and admonishing you for failing. Would get into moods where no matter what you did, it was wrong, period, and you were an idiot, period. Straight up gas lighting going on. He thinks he's a temperamental genius but really he's just an entitled jerk. It was so toxic I actually needed to start seeing a therapist. Cried almost every day.

DO YOU ... JUST NOT WITH KREWE

Pros

You will work with some amazing women who will be there to dry your tears in the women's bathroom.

Cons

The CEO has a short temper. He screams at employees in the office. Then five minutes later will be jumping around singing. He also inappropriately will touch employees. Additionally, he will make fun of people. He will make fun of your outfit. Or if you aren't smiling he will tell you to smile. The President is never in the office. No one really knows what he does. The office is predominately women. The men in the office make more than the women. Everyone is overworked to the point of mental breakdowns. There is a sofa in the women's bathroom, that any day of the week you can find one of the women in the office crying on it. Lots of extracurricular work activities that employees are expected to attend which blurs the boundaries between work and play. When you are hired they will low ball you. They will tell you, you get a salary increase. After six months, you'll have to beg for a raise, even then you'll still have to prove yourself. You might get lucky and get a bonus.

Pros

The employee discount is fine

Cons

I wasn't going to write a review, but after hearing that negative policies at this company continue to this day, I felt the need to share my experience. I guess the negative reviews here aren’t enough to make management take a step back and realize there’s a problem? KREWE is the most negative, least professional work environment I’ve ever experienced. The last two positive reviews must have been submitted by the President, because I have never worked for a company with such a lack of respect for both potential AND current employees. Even employees who were there from the start are often brought to tears by the CEO… And the CEO should not be in a position of power. When he’s not flipping out on everyone, he’s making condescending remarks to his employees about their performance… or even their outfits. This company claims their motto is to “Always remember to do YOU,” but it should be “Always remember YOU are replaceable.” The “opportunity for growth” does not include opportunity for a fair salary. If you do get a small bonus, don’t even think about asking to sign a contract. I’ve had multiple instances where HR claims will go unresolved, and I’m not the only one who encountered this. If you are a professional woman who is looking to advance her career with decent compensation, don’t waste your time dealing with the hostile abuse here. With the wave of people in power’s verbally abusive practices coming light, one has to wonder what’s next for KREWE.
