Worst Mistake of my Life!

Advanced quality engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I got paid for doing little to no work

Cons

Everything, hired to provide technical expertise to new product line/launch. Ignored and given meaningless task to perform to appear busy. This company has no concept of how to design and develop a new product. Repeatedly ignored because I had more experience than the inept managers, made them look bad, incompetent.

Great Small-Town Company with Big-Town Appeal

Business Outlook

Pros

Crown is a family-owned company that values employees, development, design, and community. Crown offers many jobs and opportunities that aren't available in other small towns. They believe in vertical integration in their products and in their people instead of outsourcing. There are opportunities locally and abroad.

Cons

Nepotism can be a bit strong. Someone is always related to someone else in this company, though that isn't always a bad thing. Salaries in many departments are well-below market value, benefits are only average for manufacturing. The business in conservative in work-life balance with very structured hours and dress codes that don't fit in today's world.

Ignorance Runs Wild At This Place

Pros

Better than average salary. Decent benefits and well established company.

Cons

There is a level of incompetence at Crown like I have never seen at any other company. There are employees on the Director level and above that I honestly have no idea how they got in their position and am even more baffled as to how they have kept their jobs. There is overspend everywhere and instead of fixing the issues and letting the people that know what they are doing fix the problems.. there is infighting. Most employees will throw anyone under the bus because they are paranoid to loose their jobs. They talk about the Crown Culture...the culture is one of ignorance. This place has even sued kids of employees just to make a point. This company's arrogance is amazing! I'd work at 7-11 before ever working at this place. If you are considering working at Crown....DO NOT!. There are better places to work and live. Living in New Bremen is like being back in high school. The town is full of snobs and it is just one big clique. It is small, boring, and going downhill.
