Stay away!!

Merchandising (Former Employee) - Charlottetown, PE - 5 December 2019

-I was with this company for close to 3 yrs and was fired the day I came back from sick leave because they hired someone else (which I heard from another co-worker) to take my spot which is illegal and to cover their blessed assurance they accused me of stealing time and false reporting which I was always very conscientious of! -Management needed lessons in integrity and compassion and from what I hear nothing has changed! -You are only as good until you get burned out then out the door you go!! -Stay away!!!

Poor reporting system

Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 26 November 2019

Poor reporting system was very slow. They expected a lot of information for a tight schedule. Printing paper and ink was my expense; a lot. Instructions were not always clear as per results.

Good place to earn some exrra cash

Merchandiser (Former Employee) - Lethbridge, AB - 3 December 2017

I most likely could have gained more hours and income if I had my own vehicle but I was mostly a helper. I strongly suggest this company if you enjoy merchandising.

Fun place to work PT

Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 14 March 2017

It's a good place to work PT but there are no FT positions in field. Not much room for advancement. If you are looking for just a few hours every now and then... Then this company is good for you.

Pros

Good work - life balance if you only want PT hours

Cons

Not FT. Hours are not guaranteed

To many to mention

flexible working hours

Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Brampton, ON - 3 April 2014

I go to each store sign in and then head to the back to get the boxes and then to the section to merchandise and sign off and then go to the next store. The hardest part of the job is to drive around and in each store not many hours to do. I like the flexibility of the job to choose my own hours.

Pros

choose my own day and time to work

Cons

drive alot

Crossmark is very focused on their customer's and their employees' needs.

Merchandiser (Current Employee) - Leamington, ON - 21 January 2013

A typical day includes going online to review any new tasks posted and check emails to keep up-to-date on the developments during a sales period.I have learned about an entirely new segment of retailing that I never knew existed. My past experience has helped and my knowledge of this geographical area and the community has made it easy to learn the job.Hardest part of the job is time management but I have been dealing with that for some time and it gets easier each week.Getting dressed and showing my professional side is one of the enjoyable parts of the job.
