CROSSMARK Employer Reviews

I worked inside of Walmart passing out free samples of all types of food to customers. Sometimes I cooked the food and sometimes it was already made. I enjoyed this job because I am a people person.

Very scattered company with lots of internal structure needed.

Very good company to work for, not much to say excellent compensation and benefit package

A typical day would be the most peaceful early in the morning. I could focus more in the initial task of a reset of the store. As the day goes, so begins the multitasking. As you are resetting a store, you always get the customers who never seem to find anything they are looking for. Sometimes, I would get the same customer about 20-30 times in one – more... sitting because they could not seem to find anything throughout the store. Honestly though, I enjoyed it because I would come to interact with the most interesting people, mostly elderly people who just liked to talk. My team leads would always allow me to do so because of the smile it would bring to them and customers alike, which was also the most enjoyable part for me as well. I had a very good understanding with management because even though it seemed as a job within itself to indulge customers, I found ways to continue my initial tasks as well. Co-workers were just as interesting. When I was not with customers of management, I would interact with them just to pass the time as we continued the reset. I would learn so much from them, and would teach all that I knew about the job. We would feed from each other's energies to complete the common goals for each day. There really were no hard parts other than when it was over, it was over. Store resets would vary depending on the specific store. So when the resets for each store branch was complete, we would have to wait until there was some other store looking to change their store's look. – less

If you are learning about the foods in your grocery stores; Crossmark has several event specialist, that will show you the best way to prepare the meal and let you sample them for free.

liked working with co workers, greeting customer sampling foods and trying new products

I enjoy working here because I can set my schedule to what works best for me. I can start early in the morning and finish early and go home.

This company was originally AC Nielsen. I had put alot of hours in with this company and I was very dedicated. Room for advancement and a flexible schedule. Two years before I was laid off it was bought out by Crossmark. Crossmark was a good company at first then they started making major cuts and I was one of the top paid in my area so I was let go – more... first. – less

A typical day at work was dealing with nice customers. Answering questions about a product. Joking with fellow co-workers. Hardest part of the job were the days when nobody came to the store, it was very boring.

Crossmark as a whole is a very detached company. They don't care about their associates as much as they should. A typical day consists of receiving your assignment and then demoing that
product to the customers of SAM's Club. I loved everyone that I worked with and got along with everyone very well. The hardest part of my job was that it would get boring – more... on slow days. The best part was how relaxed the setting was. – less

This company offered short hours for some Fridays and Saturday/Sunday sales work. If standing on your feet for 6hours selling products isn't for you, then this company isn't for you. The pay is decent for the work you do, though the job does get rather boring.

Wonderful people to be around. You learn how to deal with members with high demands.

Crossmark is a great company to work just need more hours. The hours are very flexible and as long as you do your projects as requested there is no problems.

Fun company to work if your looking for extra money. Greet, meet and present samples for club members. What I liked about this company is you get to learn new recipes. If you don't know how to cook you will.

I would report to work about 30 minutes before the job started.
Then get your paperwork for your demo or event. Set up your cart with supplies needed for the event. Then you go to the sales floor and put your cart wherever your event takes place. I learned how to do demos and cook with different appliances. I enjoyed my co-workers, they were alot of – more... fun. Our event would last for about 6 hours including breakdown and cleanup.The bosses were good people and fun to work for.We were sorta of like family . We were a great team. The hardest part of the job was getting people to buy certain products if they did not like them.If they did it was an easy sale.And non food products that had no sample were harder to sale.Interacting with different people was the most enjoyable part of the job. There are alot of really nice people out there that like to stop and talk to you and listen to you also.I also enjoyed being a Lead Event Specialist for about a year. I look forward to having that job again in the near future! – less

A typical day at work consists of meeting with store management to plan out your event. What I have learned is, to work as a team. Management is always there to listen and act on your concerns. The co-workers are helpful and always willing to jump in and work as a team. The hardest part of the job is tracking down (not the company management) but the – more... store management to let them know what the event will be for the following week so the product will be ordered and ready for your event. The most enjoyable part is how open the customer is and willing to hear what you have to offer them. – less

My assignments are determined by corporate working with our sponsors: Nabisco, Kraft, Kellogg, Unilever, Nestle, Coca Cola, etc. Then how often we work is determined by the size of our store. I am fine with 4 days a week, but lately it has been 2, and that doesn't cut it. The company has several positions, all part time, but doesn't seem to enable people – more... to combine them for more hours. Not enough opportunity for cross training. The positions which are full time and higher paid involve lots of travel with territories poorly laid out. My supervisor has to drive 3 hours to meet with me! Fortunately, I am self-directed and responsible, and I know how to get what I need. I know how to adapt. – less

Job security, no. not with Crossmark. They don't give fulltime employees benefits.

When I first started working for Crossmark, I really enjoyed the job. The pay was good and I enjoyed traveling to different stores and meeting new people. Then it got to be where if there was a problem at the store and I needed to call my manager he was not always available, nor did he have the answers I needed. Then it was decided they would not pay – more... for distance traveled it would be changed. We use to start out at the closet store and would get paid for traveling to those stores that were more than an hour away. It was then decided that we would go to the furthest store first, not getting paid for the first hour of travel, nor would we get paid for the work we done at home, logging hours, mileage, etc. When this was brought to the attention of my manager he told me to add more time to the stores I had visited to make up the difference. I did not feel right about doing that, it would be easy for the company to check with a phone all to see how long I had been with the manager of the store, when the times did not add up, I would be the one held responsible. So after talking it over with my manager and several co-workers who were having the same problems, I decided this was not the job for me. I believe in being fair and honest and I think the company I work for should feel the same.
I would definitely enjoy doing a job like this again, as I like traveling and meeting new people. – less

I worked for this company for two years and had a good first year. My second year was TERRIBLE. New management came in and they were absolutely corrupt. They talked bad about all the employees in the back office. I was harassed and bullied by members of this company. I definitely do not recommend this job anywhere in New Mexico.
