Pros

I have enjoyed my time with Crown. They offer good pay, benefits, and opportunity to grow your career. Like many companies, your experience is going to depend on what the people are like in your work group and whom you report too. There are some great groups, some good groups, some ok groups, and some bad groups at the company. I have been fortunate to have many great bosses and have been on teams of good to great people with very little "bad" folks in my many years here. Your experience will be different from anyone else who has written a review for this company including mine. Just remember you will get out what you put into it so stay positive, treat people well, and take care of the business.

Cons

Large centralized operations headquarters can hinder career growth unless you want to be in Pittsburgh (for the tower side of the business). The Midwest Area office is also in the same complex so if you are in that Area you have even less opportunity unless you want to move. Each Area does have local offices in many major markets, but opportunities are less in those offices due to not many different roles in the smaller District offices. Work life balance can be difficult during peak customer activity periods.

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.
