CROSSMARK Employer Reviews

A typical day of work requires me to drive to different popular worksites, conduct distribution checks or place IRC's. I love driving to the different worksites because I learn new places that I've never been before. Overall the job has help me become independent and abled me to communicate with management in a professional/confident matter.

Ideally, Data Collection is a great job, however, for this company and this area, the supervisor (located elsewhere in the state) is a micro-manager and tells everyone when to do the jobs. CrossMark is basically a good company but knows how to arrange it so employees are not paid the longest distance they travel. Also, if you are only looking for part-time – more...  work, this starts out with full-time hours at close to minimum wage. If you think this will in a full-time job, then think again.
It's reallly a Catch 22! – less

This job is a fun place to work at. You get to meet new people and introduce customers to new products and offer samples. I enjoy talking to my customers on their thoughts about the products, get insight on how to make it better or if any changes needed.

worst company to work for they promise 20 hrs but you need to work faster then fast. I ended up getting 6 hrs a week which didnt cover the cost of gas , internet etc... waste of time.

just don't havae emergency surgery or you will be fired from FT position loosing all benefits. Then rehired as PT rep and fired again for becoming ill again. When you are able to return to work and you give your" back to work release from your physician" info to the appropiate personel and to your supervisor you find out there is no position in your – more...  araea available. So basically you are terminated again. – less

Do plan-o-grams and resets. We make new labels for products and reorganize some merchandise. We also take out recalled merchandise.

I'd rather walk the streets and collect cans/bottles to redeem than work for this company! If you want to work for this type of company try Acosta or Advantage. They're way above Crossmark as far as pay, benefits, etc.

Fair Pay, I enjoy the hospitality of the job. Not hard work. No raise that your promised and not fair with time off. I was told I had to work any day and could take not day off. The Harrassment by leaders is bad. Not enough time allowed for sufficient and proper clean up which does not meet Health standards. I was told I had 3 minutes to clean up a – more...  entire stack of dishes. Unfair with time off and days off. Bad Company. They do pay for the time you work. Never had any problems getting paid. Dishonest Company/ – less

enjoy working at desinated store and my co-workers.have great boss,always willing to talk and work with us.if and where i locate hope a crossmark position close by so i can contiue to work for the company

Enjoy working, interacting with different people. Promote, through tasting or demostrating product.

-An average day at CROSSMARK consists of working with the clients to create projects for our field reps to complete. When the technology is working everything runs smoothly however, this is a rare occurrence with SalesTrak.
-I learned from my mentors how to be a better personal both professionally and personally. They taught me the meaning of compromise – more...  among other traits.
-The mid-level management is pretty good and fun to be around for the most part. Cannot say the same for the upper-management.
-The main entry-level workforce in the call center, recruiting, and out in the field is a "you get what you pay for" meaning the pay is too low to expect the best. Or even getting a "very good worker" for that matter. Sometimes you get diamonds in the rough but that is a rare occasion.
-Hardest part of the job is dealing with the fact that they are a private company and do pretty much what they want in terms of hiring, firing and promotions. If you worked harder and are more knowledgeable than the next person but they get the promotion you can chalk that up to bias and or favoritism. You can literally be stuck in the same position for 2+ years without a promotion or even getting more than a 0.5% annual raise. This is NOT acceptable.
-The best part about the job are the downstairs cafe and the many events like Casino Night. Not to mention getting extra days off around holidays is a bonus too. I also really enjoyed working with my mentors and some of my co-workers at CROSSMARK. – less

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME I STAY 5 YEARS TOO LONG.
LOVE MY CREW AND TRAVELING TEAM MATES..COMPANY HAS HIGH TURN OVER,,LAYED ME OFF TO GET IN CHEAPER LABOR AFTER I TRAINED THEM

Unless you have your master's degree and joined the company through the Management in Training program you will 1) not be advanced 2) not be considered a valuable employee or 3) an informed / educated employee. I worked at CROSSMARK for six years and I do not recommend working there.

Direct supervisor has way too much on his/her plate.
All communnication is done via email or phone call.

All in all this is a pretty good job, I unfortunately cannot live on the part time hours.

I worked for this company for a little over two years and never received a pay raise. The company is a little behind in technology and reporting issues were always a problem, also reporting takes time which you should be paid for but I could not report all the time it took me because you are only allowed so many minutes per project. Too often, I printed – more...  my assignment and before I could get to the store the proect was pulled and I had wasted even more time working a non existent project. The compensation for printing does not even begin to cover printer ink and printer paper. – less

A self-starting position
Re-tag merchandise
Re-stock shelves

The job is very easy to do. It involves cooking or preparing samples, passing out samples to customers, and interacting with customers to persuade purchase of products while increasing companies sales lifts. Management for the most part is alright, but could be better with scheduling of days and making sure everyone on the roster has a couple of days – more...  a month for work. The hardest part of the job is going a whole week without work. The most enjoyable part is talking with random people about products and having everyday conversations. – less

Demostrating new product of Wal-Mart to their customers. I loved this job because I was able to cook, and meet new people everyday.

Each event offers a manual to follow to assist you with conducting the events. They aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Cut up 15lbs of fruit in public? Cut a pizza into quarters so it fits in a toaster oven AND feed it to the masses? Either you are supplied with more stuff than you can use or not enough. Oh, and if there's too much, throw it – more...  away, don't take it home or give it to a food bank. Sometimes you'll have a really good product that people want to buy and there isn't any in the store to sell them. Sometimes you get a product that you wouldn't feed to a starving animal because of all the garbage that's in it but they still think you should push people to buy it, And the shear amount of waste; I was forced to throw out over 50lbs of Strip Steak (I'm eating Ramen noodles). I was also told to throw out the fully charged cans of cooking spray, into a compactor, (that's intelligent), I hear one guy got hurt when one exploded.

In the couple of year I worked this job I'll bet I had to train a new ES at least once a season, so they could quit and I'd be offered an even lazier one in the next.

If you are going to take this job, you need to love sales, stupid people, bad instruction, poor management and thinking outside the box and coloring outside the lines.

Kiss your weekends good-bye and Aunt Bessie's funeral, sorry, you have to work. Tell them to bury her next weekend because there's no work for you for the next two weeks.

If you do take this job, do it for the food safety training. It'll scare you to death if you take it seriously. I seldom take samples from anyone anymore, just based on the number of people I've seen change baby diapers or use the facillities without washing their hands and touch the product next to the one I had my eye on.

Really, did you want to get me started? – less

Had a good time but that job ended to soon thanks tho.Great....
