Pros

People are friendly. Regency is a great location to work in. Nice building. So many events to take part in. Compensation is fair but not competitive.

Cons

If you don't speak Spanish you will feel excommunicated.

Crowley is pleased that you found your colleagues friendly and the working environment satisfactory during your tenure with the company. In regards to your feedback about the varying languages spoken among employees, Crowley would like to reiterate that it is our goal to create a company culture that is inclusive of all personnel, regardless of language, background and/or job performed. While having the ability to speak Spanish (or other languages) may be a requirement for some positions, the company values its company-wide diverse workforce, which allows it to work successfully in vastly different locations around the world – from Central America and Puerto Rico to Alaska and the U.S. Gulf, and beyond. We appreciate your comment and will consider how it can be used to improve our “One Crowley, One Team” value of high performance. We thank you for your service.

Pros

The company has a good foundation, great benefits, continued education programs (if your manager will allow you to attend - most say it is not in the budget), Health conscious programs, and appears to be a very stable company.

Cons

This company has everyone in fear of losing their job. Seriously, everyone is repressed. The mentality in the company is all wrong. There is no sense of acknowledgment since managers only respond to emails when you have said or done something that needs correcting. All other emails are ignored without response. I was told that if you did not get a response that is a good thing and that upper management only responds when there is an issue. I personally had a manager tell me that he/she was upset to find out that another employee said that he/she was struggling to get direction on the project to another person. This manager took it as a personal attack and said that he/she would take care of this employee. Two weeks later the employee was dismissed for reasons not related, but it makes you wonder. There are a select bunch of employees that have been with the company for more than 30 years and they are rooted, but anyone less that 10 years is at risk of falling victim to new management ways. There is also a since of cliquishness. If you fall into the right clique then you are safe but if you don't measure up or upset the leader of the pack, then you can count your days to an early retirement. This place has a very high turnover in a short amount of time.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that our benefits, continued education programs and health-oriented culture is satisfactory. Crowley is pleased to give back to its employees who have helped to build our company into the successful business it is today. We are also very proud of our overall low turn-over rate of 16.64%. We especially appreciate your comments regarding the challenges you described with the management at Crowley. As you know, we strive to keep an open-door policy between employees - from the open-work spaces to regular reviews, to encouraging one-on-ones and more. It's also very important to us that all employees feel valued and appreciated for the good work they do, and receive feedback in a timely and constructive way. As a current employee, we hope that you will address these topics with your direct supervisor, a member of the human resources or a trusted company leader so that the circumstances of your individual situation be carefully reviewed. Your success at Crowley is important to us. We thank you for your service and appreciate the feedback so we may continue to improve our great company.
