Growth is in our DNA
Since 1954, Cross Company has focused on building a stronger offering for our customers. Over the years, our ESOP has acquired numerous companies to join our family and build that offering. Now, we have over 600 employee-owners working throughout North America in a range of positions. As we expand, growth opportunities for our team members are endless.
With a focus first on hiring from within, many of our associates have had the opportunity to move positions or have been promoted throughout our organization, helping them grow on a professional level in their careers. Check out some of our team member growth stories and spotlights.
