You’re going to regret it - Anonymous employee Crossroads Trading Employee Review

Cheap company. You WILL be underpaid. You’ll get as little as possible upon hire and you will expected to work at a ridiculous level. They sell you on work like balance but truly there is not. If you’re a manager, expect to want to quit at least once a month in a crippling emotional breakdown due to working so much. If you are a buyer or floor staff prepare for never actually having a day off that’s yours. Someone will call out because the job is soul sucking and they will call you. The two DMs in the LA region are extremely fake and unsupportive. Imagine having a boss that instead of taking the time to mentor you, points out your failings to their boss to make themselves look better. Or what’s even better, getting condescendingly spoken to constantly. Or maybe even my favorite, getting yelled at for doing things your boss forgot telling you to do. I would be on the phone many times tears streaming my face desperately looking for an email thread to prove I was only doing what I had been told by the person yelling at me. They never remember anything they say. Document everything, they don’t remember anything but will hold you accountable for whatever they feel in that exact moment regardless of what they told you before. Don’t expect an apology when you are able to prove you were right. That’s crossroads. There is loose rushed training and zero follow up. The higher up you are, the less training you will get. The expectation is you somehow know everything that is going on in your bosses mind. I’ve been yelled at for things that were told to another manager but never me and I was somehow supposed to know new policies? How? In short, a stressful environment with unrealistic expectations. Underpaid and over worked with no true senior leadership. You can give it 110% percent and it will never be enough. For 30% under industry standard for pay.
