Unfair Business Practices, Clique Oriented, Go Nowhere Job with little to no Work - Retail Representative CROSSMARK Employee Review

They assign you work due weeks ahead and then unassign it and give the work to someone else if you don't complete it early, like a week or more early (they call it "front-loading"). Their scheduling is sporadic at best - don't expect a bunch of hours. They won't give you any work for months and then tell you you aren't following company policy when you don't call your supervisor every week. Why would you need to talk to your supervisor if you have no legitimate business need? They expect you to be available only to their company Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday every week even if they don't give you any work to do. This is an unfair business practice. When you complete a 30 minute ticket on Friday that's not actually due until Sunday, they tell you it was completed late because you didn't finish it by Wednesday. This makes no sense. They provide no explanation for why work was originally assigned to you but within a day or two it's suddenly gone from your schedule. If the supervisor likes you, and you call them all the time to shoot the breeze, they apparently fill your schedule. Otherwise, you get minimal tasks every few weeks and if you're lucky you actually get a tiny paycheck once a month or so. They change reporting technology often, and there are always glitches that make it difficult to do your job. You can work there for years and never get a raise. All you get is minimum wage regardless of experience. There is no ability to advance. They refuse to pay you for administration time navigating their endless updates in reporting software and tracking your time and mileage. So you end up working off the clock quite a bit. Favored employees receive company tablets while anyone else has to use their own smartphone and print paperwork - a lot of paperwork! Team Leads don't make any more money than a laborer off the street does. If you're looking for a job that actually has work to give, isn't stingy doling it out, has room for advancement, will consider your worth and compensate you with pay raises, and makes you feel proud to work for them - Crossmark isn't the job for you! I would steer clear and find another employer.
