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.

Pros

Very well paid compared to other market security personnel.

Cons

Comparatively underpaid and under appreciated within the Crown umbrella. Work load extends FAR outside normal site security work. Branches are paid the same, at times more than the home office, while work load remains centralized. Central office is incredibly undermanned and schedule is NOT family friendly.
