Pros

Good money, decent benefits, always growing, room to advance, there is always overtime if you want to work it, there is not a lot of mandatory overtime, all around great place to work so far, fairly new to the company

Cons

The only con I could say about working at crown right now is that I was use to the more laid back type of atmosphere in a smaller shop compared to crown, its a bigger company and a little more strict I guess you could say. But as long as you do your job and show up to work, theres nothing to worry about!

Pros

Decent pay and benefits but not much else. A lot of good people that are treated poorly. Has a microwave for lunch and vending machines.

Cons

Wow, this would take hours but the lack of support from managers, lack of integrity of the managers, unethical treatment of employees. Of the people that truly have not drank the cool aid, there is only promotion for those that agree with everything and do not speak their mind otherwise, you are not a team player! I have seen over the many years, people promoted based on who you know or how well your liked and they have no clue how to do the job nor are they qualified! I could write a book from my experience on what not to do and how not to treat people. Your just a number to them, they will use you up and discard you when done!

Pros

As a company, they are one of the few in the lift truck industry that will provide training. Unfortunately many companies will be weary to hire you after this because they Crown employees are known to "drink the Kool-aid" and they'll wonder if you did the same.

Cons

Sadly, besides the training they provide in fork lifts, the company was completely worthless for everything else. Their benefits are subpar--with employee sponsored health care being over priced (which is surprising for such a large company), you will be underpaid for the industry by 15%-20%, you will be forced to use an archaic system to track mileage to gain any type of automotive reimbursement (you will still lose money on it), they discontinued their current CRM tool in 2013 and still have yet to replace it instead enlisting "tickler files" and hand written notes, they will have you fill out multiple overlapping reports on your time, you will hear "nights and weekends" used frequently to denote when you should be working on anything other than cold calling, management at all levels of the company will lie to your face, cheat you out of pay, manipulate orders in order to maximize profit at the cost of your commission, and the only hope of ever moving up in the company is to be from New Bremen, OH where the entire management team seems to have been born.
