Earlier in his career, John Crossman, CEO of Crossman & Co. found himself working in a very toxic environment. “It was a locker room culture. Lots of bullying and numerous unhealthy situations,” he said. Crossman was the top producer at the time and even though he was making a great deal of money, he decided to leave because the work environment was impacting his physical health and home life. “I decided that I would rather make less money than stay there.”
