Do not go to work for this company! My daughter took a job with Crossmark and was told when she was hired that she would have fulltime hours but never in the 2 years she worked for them has she worked a full week. She took this job to earn extra money while attending college and when her hours didn't pick up she held on to the job due to the economy. She never missed a day and even worked holidays without complaint or extra pay. When she was moved up to manager she thought her pay would increase but she found out that the new workers she was training were being hired in at a much higher rate than she was earning. When she questioned this she was told that they don't give raises. Many days she had offered to work extra hours to keep demos from being cancelled but rather than pay her to do them the demos were thrown in the trash. I wonder if the companies that hire Crossmark to do these jobs are aware that they aren't being done? All of the leftover food is thrown in the trash, such a waste. There is no one to contact when you need to discuss any problems you may have. My daughter has had it! Recently she was notified that her and others pay was being cut. These people nit pick and complain constantly and you never receive any thanks.
Also, the new inexperienced people that are trained by the ones who have been there longer are hired at a higher rate of pay, then given the most hours leaving the more experienced worker with no hours and little pay.
Did you read the information on the court docket? The people complaining expected to be paid for travel time to thier first store, and the company was not found to be at fault. Get your facts straight buddy.
I must be high. Here is the friggen link. Now I forgot to post it in the last comment. Well, It's Sunday and I'm so tired;
Here it is again,

Oops, I put the wrong link. Here is the link to a suit against Crossmark, Inc. for violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The right link:
I belive Crossmark allows this kind of supervision. I think this company lacks in ethics.
Wrong link and mistake:
"It also has a violation of the Fair Labor Act suit on it right here. It was just filed this last July:

I think it just matters who's supervisor. I was doing very well this job: I had high sales, was exhuberant and happy about the job, and got along well with others. However, the supervisor began to exhibit strange behaviors; He seemed particularly paranoid in my presence, or as he had 'something up his sleeve'. He began telling me I barely could my job at all, when I had gone beyond to complete the job to an outstanding degree, and most of all, I felt the only issue truly going on with this supervisor, was the fact that he had become attracted to me, lustful toward, me, and because he was of a religion, he couldn't handle it, and in order to prevent being accused of sexual harassment, he began an unfair write up process that made me resign before I could get fired. The guy went from a rational, fair supervisor to end saying complete lies and twisting good sellers into bad sellers. Sellers who were getting high sales, suddenly, even in spite of the high numbers to prove it, he said were getting low sales.
I chalked it all up to that he had gone bipolar or was under so much pressure [ and some ], that it was time to resign from the entire company for hiring so many unstable, angry, stressed out, and dishonest people.
I wasn't happy to have to resign, but not allowing my emotions to control and stay and put up with it to the point of being fired without fair cause, I resigned.
The supervisor stays, even after complaints to HR on him, as he crafts the team completely against ADA laws, to those he's not having a personal issue toward, which is sexist, in my opinion.
That for all my hard work to make great sales, improve where I needed to, and cohese with my co-workeres, it's funny that this is really what seemed to piss off the supervisor. I felt it was just because I am an attractive woman with a good personality, that he really couldn't handle it. Sexism - not necessarily sexual harassment, but sexism.
If you are a good looking, competent, and remarkable seller, do not work under a male supervisor, if you're able to. Eventually, in my own experience over and over again, at different companies, a male supervisor will get attracted to you, not feel comfortable, then try to push you out, whether or not you're doing your job right, and he'll base it on unfair allegations that you're screwing up, even pasting others mistakes upon you and taking what you sell and placing part of it on someone's sales report he wants to stay. I belive Crossmark allows this kind of supervision. I think this company lacks in ethics.
It also has a violation of the Fair Labor Act suit on it right here. It was just filed this last July:

Crossmark nitpicks about everything. It's like kicking a dog. You're chained to your computer. I have to check it twice a day to see if I'm working the next day. They often change our schedule with less than 24 hours notice and don't even give us a phone call. You're just expected to be there. Twice in the last four months, they hired 7 people when we only needed 3, then cut our hours in half. You can't make a living in this job. Their attitude is, you're expendable.
