  • An “in-office” role would require the employee to come into the office most days with occasional flexibility to work remotely if tasks can be performed elsewhere and if the manager approves.  
  • A “remote” role would allow an employee to work from a home office that is in one of the states Crain does business in. We can only employ a remote / "work from home" employee if they reside in one of these states: AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NY, NC, OH, OR, TN, TX, VA, WA, WI, and Washington, DC.

  • Employees who live within a reasonable commute distance from a Crain office are expected to work on-site 3 days per week.

  

Many positions will also include work done in “the field.” Depending on the role, this may include conducting in-person interviews, attending work-related events, meeting with sources or clients.

Most employees perform work Monday through Friday, although early-morning, evening or weekend shifts may be required.  Work schedule and travel requirements are subject to change as a role and needs evolve over time.
