Good place to work!

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at Crane Co.

Pros- Management is receptive to change
- Work-life balance
- Good work environment
- Strong support from colleagues

Cons- Management lacks big vision or does not share with employees
- Lot of effort is put to just maintain status quo.

Advice to Senior Management1) Build a strong plan to integrate acquired companies or it will end up eroding value.
2) Have a great vision so that people feel proud of working for Crane.

Great employees...Poor management

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at Crane Co.

ProsGood salary and benefits, Great co-workers who are always ready and willing to help one another. Great products.

ConsStill an "Old Boys Club" even though management tries to deny it. Management can be disrespectful and lack management skills. No Work/Life balance. No chance of advancement. Stressful, authoritative structure. Too many managers not enough workers. Most employees are dissatisfied and waiting for the opportunity to leave when the economy improves.

Advice to Senior ManagementListen to employees. Set realistic goals. Show some respect.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Disconnect in ideology and actuality

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)
Stamford, CT (US)

I worked at Crane Co.

ProsStrong compensation package. Willingness to invest in the business and business improvment. Intelligent workforce and management. Well documented policies. Global opportunities.

ConsBelow average relocation policy. Rigid view of career progression. Limited training and development support. Little to no personal connection between the organization and employees (at all levels). No real company culture, more a combination of many organizations under one umbrella. Limited ability to move between companies.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
