Pros

Some employees do well by putting in the hard effort and it pays off. There are good opportunities for a few people who catch the eye of management. The small company means that people know each other and it creates a bit of a family atmosphere which is nice to work in.

Cons

Although some employees who work hard get recognised, many others do not. Talent is often overlooked by some managers (emphasis on "some", as others were very good) and employees were disregarded for opportunities. So many employees ended up doing the same thing over and over whilst others had variety and ended up being promoted. It became very "clicky" and this was one of the reasons I left. Pay could have also been better but (as my manager actually said to us) "beggars can't be choosers"! Not the worst place I've worked but it definitely had its fair share of problems.

Thanks for your comments. I think it is fair to say that we are on a journey to create the very best working environment we can and that in some areas we are achieving that but there is still work to do. We, the management team, remain committed to making Crystal a Destination Employer and your feedback is helpful. I wish you success in your future career. Tony Shields CEO

Pros

ESOP, promote within, positive financial projections, stable company.

Cons

Hours can be long, some disconnect between upper management and staff, communication between departments can be delayed or non-existent. Some tribalism between departments.
