Good learning experience but lack of full time, benefits and employee support make it a job not long term option.
Pros
Flexible hours to some extent, freedom, interaction with customers and retailers and the ability to develop new skills.
Cons
For most, this is a 20-30 a week job with a somewhat minimal hourly rate. Turnover seems to be high as for most this is just not a livable salary in the long run. Also, the mileage paid is a total rip off. The reimbursement is 40 cents a mile (government standard is like 55 cents) and you do not get paid for your first or last stop unless its 40 or miles from home. In other words, you could put up to 79.9 miles a day on your car at your expense and its doubtful many commute that far in a day. Since the field work is remote naturally that makes communication, training and support challenging. However, Crossmark does little to mitigate that issue. Get used to being thrown into situations that you might not have the skills to complete a job with little support or projects that really require more than one person. Wait times to a centralized support center are routinely 30 minutes or more and the salary paid is not worth having an unlimited calling plan. I would venture to say that a weak job market and lack of good full time jobs has allowed Crossmark to obtain a decent level of employee. However, assuming the job market is starting to take off and more good jobs reappear this company will find lots of problems with staffing and therefore having projects go undone and unhappy clients.
