@Cron decorator throws: TypeError: cron_1.CronJob is not a constructor about schedule

It turned out that the problem is not coming from the lib, but it is something that other people could run into so I will post a short explanation:

We use tsconfig-paths (https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsconfig-paths) to be able to use module paths relative to the project root. In the project root, however, we have a folder called cron where we keep a set ot cron classes that hold cron methods (as opposed to having cron methods in the service classes). All this classes are exported through a cron/index.ts file and imported as:
import cron from 'cron'.
The lib, however, also uses a module called cron, and when it imports it the resolver imports our cron module instead of the proper dependency.
