Pros

Learned a ton from the business system. Enjoyed my co-workers - a real misery loves company type of environment.

Cons

Way too much bureaucracy. I was a business unit executive at one of their sites. The company only cares about the here and now, makes future plans but then discards at the first sign of adversity. Doesn't care about customers in the least bit, only cares about what they can grab right now. Growth strategy is last in company values and usually is just thrown out the door. Over burdened with reporting up to corporate, daily walk thrus, weekly reports, monthly reports, endless action plans. The beatings will continue until moral improves type of environment. Everything Crane touches it shrinks the sales.

Pros

None. They took all our benefits and overwork everyone. Moral is in hell.

Cons

Everything. I can't think of one good think about Crane Co. The culture is abhorrent and archaic. They tout that they care for employees but then take all the benefits we had and expect us to thank them for it and work harder for less. Crane overpaid for our businesses and now they are desperately trying to squeeze us for anything they can get, but they are not making back the $1B they spent in the next 20+ years. I loved my job and the company I work for before they took over.
