Pros

Family owned company so no union or union workers to deal with. Standard shifts. 40 hrs per week, overtime is 99% voluntary. Safety is always Number 1! Very clean factory. Vacation is based on years of service, after 1 year you get a week. They offer tuition reimbursement. They provide prescription safety glasses, and boot allowance.

Cons

Pay is relatively low compared to other factories doing similar work. Communication throughout departments is horrible. Christmas bonuses are taxed! Average length of service is quite long, so getting vacation time off may be difficult since a lot of employees have many weeks of vacation and the vacation book fills up quick. And management never seems to follow the rules about limiting time off to one person per line. Crown is all about who you know. Certain people will always be held higher than you no matter what.

Pros

They appear to have chances at advancement, average wages, benefits (barely). Others will recognize the company you work for. Where else are you realistically going to work at in the New Bremen area?

Cons

Benefits are amongst the worst I have personally ever been given. Insurance runs $100 a week and then there's your 401 k, which brings your "average" wage below what other companies in the area might pay you. Another concern for anyone not familiar with the New Bremen area is that rents are ridiculously inflated, as is property value.
