Great Company

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at CROSSMARK

ProsQuick weekend work, great for extra money. They pay a differential when in stores. Best part time job I was able to locate in this market. My supervisor is fantastic and really a joy to work for. You work independently so it hardly feels like a job, just do your job and you're fine!

ConsLike any retail position, you will be working all weekends and holidays.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Retail Data Collection

Retail Data Collector (Former Employee)
Miami, FL

I worked at CROSSMARK part-time for more than 3 years

ProsGood strong company with flexible hours. The pay is good for the work that is done.

ConsThe work can be tedious and the possibility for promotion are slim. I think you would need t apply for a new position altogether to get a pay raise.

Great start for getting into the marketing field.

Event Specialist (Current Employee)
Orlando, FL

I have been working at CROSSMARK part-time for less than a year

ProsYou learn techniques for selling products to customers. You get to engage with all different people. Pay is pretty great for an entry level position.

ConsThe hiring process can be a little drawn out and you have a lot of paperwork to get filled out, signed, and faxed in a short period of time. The job can get a bit boring at times when there is a lull period. Standing on your feet for 6 hours.

Good Job - Dead-End Opportunities

Lead Event Specialist (Current Employee)
Edison, NJ

I have been working at CROSSMARK part-time for less than a year

ProsGreat teamwork, good training, terrific co-workers, interesting assignments that change often enough to keep you interested and interesting.

ConsStrange way of managing people - offering to 'transfer' to nearby position at 1/3 less money per hour - but with undocumented promise of more hours. Hard to get enough hours to live on, as they do not want you to hit the point where they must report you as a full-time employee eligible for benefits.

Advice to Senior ManagementBe honest about opportunities; hours and pay rates. Stick to what you said in the first place.

Consistent Growth, with promising opportunities to those willing to go the extra mile.

Retail Supervisor (Current Employee)

I have been working at CROSSMARK full-time for more than 3 years

ProsFlexible schedule, constantly something new to work on, never boring, currently in a period of rapid growth so that are many different opportunities. As a supervisor, we get a lot of perks. The company is not afraid to spend money on me, it seems. They sent us to Vegas earlier this year, and I've participated in a few special projects where Crossmark didn't hesitate to pay for a $70 meal.

ConsDepending on location, there can be limited growth potential. If you are part time, there's not much monetary advancement. Most part time positions don't get regular raises. Some say benefits are sub-standard.

Advice to Senior ManagementIn my experience, response from corporate is relatively slow. While I understand people are busy, sometimes it takes up to a week to get a response on certain things. Also, incentives are needed for proper management of part time associates, but I know that's in the works.

Event Specialist

Event Specialist (Former Employee)
Portage, MI

I worked at CROSSMARK part-time for less than a year

ProsI loved showing up to work everyday because I liked to promote the different products we had each day. Everyday was different.

ConsIt was only part time. I wished they had a full-time position or more pay per hour.

Advice to Senior ManagementOffer a couple full-time positions for Event Specialist.

Wonderful, I work with a great team of people.

Hill's Team- Pet Nutritional Consultant (Current Employee)

I have been working at CROSSMARK part-time for less than a year

ProsCROSSMARK train's hill's dedicated team well and frequently. Working with "pet parents" to help ensure a lasting relationship with their dog(s)/cat(s) is very rewarding
Team members are kept in the loop as to what is currently going on with both the company and the marketplace and what to expect in both the near and distant future. All employees including part-time are offered medical coverage, dental, 401K, and more. Take advantage!

ConsYou have to stay on your toes with store managers as well as store associates. Otherwise the job is great.
