Pros

Customized Brokers as a subsidiary of Crowley, it benefits from the above average benefits the company offers.

Cons

Customized Brokers under Crowley is the epitome of bad business decision making and unqualified management that diminishes growth and employee confidence. A once very successful small business bought out a few years ago by Crowley. Crowley Maritime appointed one of their own long time employees to Manage this subsidiary, the results were devastating, turning this multi million dollars winning operation to a continuous year after year business loser in the millions. One individual alone has caused the employment layoff of over 20 loyal employees, others left on their own, disillusioned by the down spiral it was taking.

Pros

Remote jobs- although executives frown upon it, there is no mandate to work at the office. I assume this is the main reason most people are willing to stay for a lower pay. But the executives would prefer people at the office and constantly ask their leaders to work at the office so that they indirectly guilt people to work in the office. But no mandate yet….

Cons

-culture not good/low Morale -significant layoffs despite recently securing a significant billion dollar contract. Being a high performing employee doesn’t necessarily mean you will grow at the company, or that you won’t be laid off. They have no problem getting rid of you for cost savings or demoting you to a lower paying position for the bottom line. In the last dew years they have laid off hundreds of employees even high performers or people that have been in the company 20+ years. So dedication is not valued. - they put people in positions based on how well they like you or nepotism as those with power hire family members even though they may not have the necessary qualifications - don’t seem like important decisions are thoroughly evaluated and things seem to always go south here -too much uncertainty, change and , re-structuring. Centralizing and decentralizing. Make up your mind already! -tone at the top- controller overly critical and does not show enough appreciation for hard workers. -many people get away with too much -pay is lower than average, bonuses have never been good, but even less now, and increases are 3% annually. So don’t expect to make too much money. -no room for growth in many departments - no accountability. Bad management and no consequences. - not enough female employees on higher positions. Higher positions are overly male dominated

Pros

* hybrid work * pay on time * a lot of independent work, but had to meet tight deadlines constantly

Cons

* Constant gaslighting and making you question yourself and decisions * very high turnover rate in Shipping FP&A (there have been 4 analysts in 2 years for my current role) * management is too focused on meeting all the requests by the leadership team, so that puts even more pressure to deliver. You end up taking out fires instead of having the time to actually build something. * most often, you get requested to deliver something quickly by end of day. * implied here is that there is no project management in place within FP&A * probably due to cutting costs, you're expected to manage two business lines instead of one (say goodbye to work-life balance) * there are no procedures or guides as to how to actually do your work, so there is no standardization, making reproducibility of work difficult from prior analysts. * quality of work also depends on the business line leader you work with. In my case, there was no integration to the team and was just expected as soon as possible. Although I explained that these things take time, they just kept adding additional deliverables while my manager instead of helping, mentioned that it was just part of the job * lastly, nothing is really automated so you have to manually download datasets and manually do your pivots to extract data.
