Pros

It's a paycheck or a way to attempt to earn one.

Cons

A mountain of them honestly. Micromanaged on every level, every single detail of the job whether it is an mplan execution in the Movista One Hub app on your phone and good luck with I phones they're still having issues over there be it your personal device or one the company provides phone or tablet, or the Natural Insights application which is out dated, old school, and obsolete in some cases and often doesn't work well in the field vs. using a pc or laptop even your own. Good luck getting pictures uploaded in the field to Natural Insights as well especially on iPhone or tablets. Anyways. The work itself isn't bad if you enjoy taking surveys because most of the work, ie. stocking selves etc. is done for you in stores like Walmart etc. and the stores get this have the final word not the clients and certainly not Crossmark although they think they do and trust me your managers in the field and District etc. even those you do not see in person will harp on you over every single detail. Also they ship the pop point of purchase items to your home vs. the store so if you have a smaller vehicle be prepare to feel worse than the folks at UPS, Fed Ex or the U.S. Mail feel. They do not pay you for this by the way and good luck getting them to pay drive time or mileage as well even between stores. The quality of work is a hassle too. You are usually very low hours with no actual guarantee of hours even though they'll lie and claim it is a part time job. When the reality is it's assignment based as it comes in work. Why call it part time when there are no steady hours? Lies, lies, and more lies and flat out abuse of the workers in the field who get mere peanuts for the hours spent dealing with the retail merchandising drama in various stores etc. It's also wear and tear not only on your physical person and mind i.e. mental health but on your vehicle as well. This company got worse when WIS took over. As if Crossmark wasn't bad enough before, it is even worse now. Beware in certain districts of certain managers who love to nitpick every little detail of every little job. You could be standing in the store in real time doing the actual work and they're on the other end watching everything and criticizing it in real time as you upload it. This is not a joke on that.

Pros

No pros working at crossmark

Cons

an honest example of your day, we will pay you for 15 minutes to run up to a Walmart. For that 15 minutes we will expect you to read instructions for any new changes, run in and check in with a manager, find our product, count our products exactly, go to the back room and find our products (which is by far the longest step), count our products in the back exactly, bring our products to the front of the store, take pictures and answer questions, remove all old products, stock by date, take pictures and answer questions. If this takes you 25-30 minutes, which is probably a more accurate accounting, we will still only pay you for 15. If you are lucky there may be another job that day, but if not you will be expected to waste your gas, drive to the Walmart that we demanded, and work that 15 minute job alone. In that case we will be demanding that you take an hour out of your day for $3.00.
