CROSSMARK Employer Reviews

A typical day at work consists of: Checking into the store location that was assigned, checking inventory, setting up table for a professional display, cleaning supplies that will be used during the event, cooling or cooking (depending on which samples one is serving) food to make it tasty for the customer, memorizing product attributes from sales plan, – more... and telling customers about them, serving the proper amount in portion cups and encourage people to try them.

The management is excellent because workers are always emailed a week before or so about their projects and all questions and concerns are always taken care of.

The hardest part of the job is sometimes putting the table together, and putting everything away and carrying the heavy table into back room or upstairs.

The most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with others, learning about the product and the very helpful and kind people I work with. – less

I was given 8 hours "training" by the laziest "trainer" that I had ever met!
This training did NOT even cover everything that I was expected to do in my job!

There isn't even a manual on the position, or the equipment that I am supposed to use!

My position is as a "Field Agent", and I am expected to know EVERYTHING about the job and my equipment with – more... NO training!

I have had THREE supervisors in less than one year, and my current supervisor is based in MONTREAL, and I am in ALBERTA!

We finally have a Team Lead (she is based in my area) after almost a year after the last one was fired.

The only good things about this position are:
that I work my own hours (as long as the work is done by the deadline.)
and I am paid $14.50 / hour .

Other than this, I am looking forward to quitting this terrible company, as soon as I find another part time job! (NOT IN RETAIL!) – less

I have had a great experience working with Crossmark and its staff. Everyone has been more than hospitable my entire time with them. Unfortunately it is only a part time position throughout the entire company and I need a more stable atmosphere for my family. It was the perfect job at the time, while I was still in school. The flexible hours but stiff – more... deadlines really worked well my my schedule but it is time to fine something full-time. – less

My day at work is pretty straight forward, I engage in conversation with many consumers about products and experience they might have with the products. I have learned how to multitask when promoting more then one product at a time, keeping my self from being overwhelmed. managment in both the store and the company i work for are both great. My co-workers – more... are friendly and easy to get along with, I have not had any problems with them. The hardest part of my job would be standing the entire time. The most enjoyable part of my job is the interaction with consumers. – less

This job offers a flexible schedule, but there is limited room for advancement and no pay increases.

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.

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.
