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.

So much potential - Unaccountable Upper / Sr. Management

Pros

Decent Benefits / Generous Pay. The Company attempts to do the right thing.

Cons

Management unaccountability leading to job losses. Top heavy company due to antiquated annual Tom Crowley Award which essentially gives membership to upper Management and job security.
