Vantaggi

Great people in the trenches -- smart & dedicated. Great office location. Decent salary.

Svantaggi

We went from having excellent benefits to having almost everything taken away, to the point where I can't understand why anyone under the age of 50 would want to work here. We had a pension plan, AND a profit-sharing plan, AND got a Christmas bonus. Now? NOTHING. Honestly I don't know of any reputable employers who DON'T offer a retirement plan. Except for Crain. The young leadership -- 3rd generation, you know what they say -- is ham-fisted, has communications issues, seems to lack vision and deals with problems by a) laying off rank and file workers; b) cutting benefits; and c) hiring even more bureaucrats, adding to the incredibly bloated upper leadership, non-content or revenue-producing staff and shielding themselves from having to take blame and/or address problems with true leadership.

Thank you for your candid review. As you’ve noted, Crain has changed some of our benefit offerings to our employees to grow revenue, and align us better with a highly competitive marketplace. While our reward programs have changed, they are now geared towards the goal of organizational success, where Crain will continue to share profits as its primary retirement plan contributions, as it always has in the past. Crain has always offered a voluntary savings program for retirement savings and will continue to do so. Moreover, Crain invests in employees in a variety of ways: flexible work environment, potential to earn bonuses based on individual and company performance, a generous PTO program, career development opportunities, participation in a variety of internal award programs, and community support initiatives, just to name a few.

Vantaggi

Some good people within the rank and file.

Svantaggi

Toxic culture from above, gross mismanagement, nonstop verbal abuse from leadership, constant change for the sake of change, questionable audience numbers, no idea how to run a business- which is ironic for a B2B publisher, horrible internal communications, reactive not proactive.
