Crane Co. Employer Reviews

A typical work day consisted of assembling, repairing and testing various hydraulic components using automated and manual test equipment, reporting any discrepancies to the test procedures to management and engineers. Document all findings and inspect the parts for shipment.

Steady work level. Detailed oriented work, Lots of high priority orders.

They underpay their employees for the jobs they have them perform. Salary increases over the last 5 years have ranged from 2.5% to 0% while the group I worked in experienced record profits. The rules for the bonus payout change at the last minute making it impossible to achieve while the executive's goals are set at levels well below the plant level – more... goals. There is no work / home life balance, they demand 60+ hour work weeks out of the management team. The medical benefits place the majority of the burden on the employee, high paycheck deductions, high co-pays, and high annual medical deductibles. The executive leadership is abusive and disrespectful of the employees. They use fear and intimidation to manage the company. They will instruct you to charge time to cost plus programs even if you do not work on the programs. Do yourself and your family a favor and avoid this company, your family will thank you later. – less

Management was great. Learned alot of my skills from this comapny

Poor work place. If you knew more about your job than your superiors they either threatened you with physical harm or blame you for non conformances that were done by other employees. Upper management allowed this with numerous complaints by other employees. Pay was changed to lesser amount than what was originally ageed upon. If you choose to work – more... here get pay in writing before starting. – less

A typical day at work is smooth as along as you know exactly what you are doing. Keeping up with your work is the main part and not getting behind, because it will cause you to get a headache to catch back up...The work environment was ok. Just a big turnover rate, estimating like every freaking week. The co-workers are not a problems just the employees – more... with big positions such as Directors/etc are very uptight about things, wanting things to go their way when they don't even know how to do the job I am doing. The most enjoyable part of the job is helping out the vendors that need it the most. – less

I am a very driven and dedicated employee who will always try to exhibit a great deal of professionalism in any given situation. I have the ability to complete any task presented to me at any given time. I am a very ethical person who will strive to do right "all" of the time. This position is a very fast paced position for which things are always changing. – more... This position requires a mega multi-tasking person for which I've found that I function very well with. – less

Wonderful people and ethics in a great company. Enjoyable to spend the day at...great plus for a job!

First of all thanks to this company to giving me an opportunity to give me all this years of working. I learn every single day, doing different parts different tools. I enjoy so much doing my proffesion. This company is the best company I ever work with. And I would like to stay here as much as they need me.

Shady practices on Goverment contracts.Mil-Spec product line will not produce repeatabilty on hydro testing seat test. No engineeering support on product failures. Management would rather put a band-aid on the product in lieu of correcting the issue.

Enjoy working here. Learned new microwave manufacturing processes. More involved with managerial responsibiliteis. Co-workers are energetic and helpful.

Management is always changing so you never get a fair review of your work. Many people lack work ethics and the people that have work ethics carry everyone else. Management rewards the lazy and gives all the work to the hard working people. There is no advancement. This company only hires outside. Values are non-existent. Pay and benefits are fair.

Office environment: Extremely political
Human Resources: Full of sweet talk before you join, horrible, oblivious and rude afterwards
Micromanagement: Employees are just numbers to follow orders
EBOB (EveryBody On Board) periodic charade: Have to experience to believe

Company catered to a well know customer base
Produced a reliable product
Great working relationship with employees

Understand everyone needs a job, but if you can, avoid this company at all cost. you won't believe how much office politics there is until you personally experience it.
If you enjoy office politics, and enjoy join certain groups and gossip about other people, this is the PLACE for you.

Horrible Human Resource Department! High TURNOVER! Rude incompetent Human Resources with NO manufacturing experience. Williston, South Carolina is a very small town in the middle of no-where. I've never seen a plant with such a high turnover in salaried positions.

Worked for this company for 30 years. Was great when it was small it has undergone 4 buy outs and the last was certainly the most challenging.

Worked here less than three months. They placed me on a job that required too much heavy lifting. I would not recommend to any one with back issues.

I enjoyed fixing, stabilizing and building this busness for the Industrial Products Group. My direct managers were top notch and treated me very well.

It was a good working environment until the closure, producing cast bronze valves.
