The ESOP Advantage
Cross is a 100% employee-owned company. Through the ESOP, the company buys stock on behalf of eligible employees, allowing them to share in the company’s success and save for retirement. Being an employee-owner presents a unique opportunity for our associates to influence the value of their retirement. The ESOP is not a passive investment — associates have a vested interest in making sure their accounts’ value grows. Their performance every day on the job contributes to achieving overall company goals and profitability, which in turn may help increase the value of the company and the shares in their account.
Workstyle Flexibility & Workplace flexibility that fuels productivity
Whether you work as an engineer in our mobile technology center, are a field technician working on site with one of our many customers, or are part of our admin team keeping it all running smoothly, we focus on keeping our team members comfortable and productive. Work from home has become the new norm lately, and Cross Company has innovated the way we operate to benefit our customers. Be a part of that innovation, and enjoy a happier work life balance at the same time.
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.

My internship at Cross has given me the opportunity to learn so much more about the marketing field than I am able to learn in the classroom. I've grown immensely both professionally and personally through the guidance and support of my peers. I have developed many skills and have a much greater concept of what to expect after college. Cross has a distinctive kindness that shatters your notions of a cold business world. My experience here will be something I take with me and open new doors toward my future.
Annalee SorsenginhMarketing Intern - Corporate
The employee ownership culture at Cross is one of the most valuable things we have to offer our associates and our customers. It is a rare thing to find so deeply ingrained in who we are and how we conduct ourselves on a daily basis.
