No job security, quick to punish but light on praise, promotions are based on politics rather than talent. - Staffing Coordinator Cross Country Employee Review

Pros

Benefits are decent, and the job is somewhat tolerable if you get a manager that will go to bat for you and challenge some of the idiotic decisions by management. Company does invest in resources such as Careerbuilder. Some managers will try to bring some fun into the office.

Cons

Overall, a miserable place to work where management cares little about the employees. You're only as good as your last phone report. Management treats employees like school children and are quick to punish for any little supposed infraction. Salaries are well below industry average, and if you start to make any decent money, they'll find a reason to either change your territory or fire you. Loyalty means nothing because a longtime employee can be fired just as easily as a new one. Promotions are based more on politics than talent. The amount of paperwork they expect the temp employees to fill out in the hire packet is ridiculous and turns off a lot of potential employees. Managers give lip service to work/life balance but really want people to work 10 to 12 hour days. Management has also done things to employees which could have invited a lawsuit.

Pros

Remote first environment, co workers are great.

Cons

I genuinely wanted to build a long-term career with the company. Unfortunately, my experience was impacted by repeated instances where commitments made by leadership were not followed through. Within the Enterprise Sales division, I observed significant leadership and organizational challenges during my time there. Communication around compensation, commission plans, and career advancement was often inconsistent. There were multiple discussions about updated commission structures, increased earning opportunities, and promotional paths that ultimately did not materialize, which made it difficult to maintain confidence in leadership. I also perceived inconsistency in how employees were evaluated and retained. It often appeared that personal relationships influenced opportunities and employment decisions more than performance, which negatively affected morale across the team. It’s disappointing because I believe the company has talented people and strong potential. I truly wish my experience at Cross Country had been different.
