Pros
Crossmark started me on a good sales career. I used my knowledge gained from Crossmark for a better position with a more established employer. The people were fun to work with in the Sacramento, CA area. The supervisors are personable and tolerant
Cons
Crossmark placed me with some really disreputable employers - Walmart, Home Depot - who are known for mistreatment of employees, slavery, and blame of employees. For example, in spite of showing evidence that either a supervisor or employee was going to steal or hide product I was to pack out, when I complained about this, I was fired. The thief still works there, at Walmart, that is. Inexperienced supervisors: They need skills in listening and maybe even some counseling to see why they are so cut throat to employees a store supervisor will place into trouble for whatever his/her motive it. Worst yet, when I got fired, I looked around on the Internet and found a few class action lawsuits on Walmart for employee mistreatment, and how Walmart is like some cult. Crossmark was the same: Class Action lawsuits, and by three years of experience of being a supervisor for this company, I realize that Crossmark is like a cult too. They are Mormon run, which is good to some extenet, but if you foul up, they really cut throat on you. Now, because of a lack of understanding and the ignorance of my supervisor, I've lost my job and now have three years of a bad reference. Crossmark hires sneaky peopld and does sneaky things. Like one employer I quit, ended up merging with Crossmark, then Crossmark hires me back after a year, then fires me for the first time, and I believe it's in retaliation for several complaints I made about being mistreated. This company just couldn't keep it's respects: Either they ignore you and hold you down underhandedly, or out right fire you based on miniature reasons. This Walmart and Crossmark engage in wrongfful termination and the exploitation of it's employees. Crossmark seems to only hire people to work in the worst workplaces: The ones that are staffed with sexually harassing males, mean people, backstabbers, those that 'hate the vendor' and 'hate this and that', hate, and unreasonable expectations.
