I work for Crown right now. I have read many of your posts and you seem to be going out of your way to bash Crown. That's OK. I usually go on this site because there is usually good insight of what is going on in our industry, not to get into **** contests. But I will try to set the record straight.

Our technicians are working a minimum of 40 hours a week. No lay offs, no 32 hour weeks and are working Saturdays. The reason we are able to do this is because we are going after our competitors service business and have had some good success doing so!

As far as vacations go, I won't disagree with earning your vacation w/ Crown is tuff! But I know some competitors who are requiring their employees to take vacations because of the economy and business being slow. I'm sure many of them didn't want to take that time off.

Not to mention, if they are only working 32 hours a week it seems they just got a lot more days off. I wonder how that helps them when paying their bills???
