Pros

On the surface Anderson is a decent place to work. It's far from what I thought I was signing up for as a "Territory Sales Lead". But the work is okay. You're basically a stocker at Walmart. Which, is not as awful as I thought it would be. But you also don't work for Walmart, so you constantly have to justify what you're doing to the store employees. Once you have a chance to develop rapport with them (~4 months in my case) you'll be better set up for success.

Cons

Unfortunately, broader economic shifts are happening mostly precipitated by the internet: retail is a declining industry (thanks to Amazon and others), and people are moving towards internet distribution of the media they consume (ala netflix and itunes). Walmart is contracting in this environment. That could be an opportunity for Anderson if they were as on it as they claim to be. They are making a legitimate effort to diversify their client base to better weather the economic shifts. However, Anderson does not provide enough time for employees to complete the work paid for by its clients. As the face of Anderson at Walmart, I feel embarrassed by this. They also know they don't provide enough time and they do that on purpose. As others have mentioned they forbid employees from reporting the fact that they aren't provided with enough time to complete the activities.

Pros

I don't think there are any for this company and upper management will not change to ensure they are taking care of their employee base

Cons

Company did not make payroll for numerous employees. Ignorance is not an excuse. Making payroll for your employees is a basic responsibility. As for benefits they are slim to non. As well as expenses are reimbursed at a low rate of .32 a mile and paid monthly

Pros

work life balance is the only positive.

Cons

Poorly managed software team. The manager will drop by and request a release to production without even testing. She will ask you to work weekends forcing you to cancel your plans and then on Friday evening tell you its not necessary to come in on the weekend. Their idea of testing is clicking to make sure things work. They have no PRDs and have no clue how to run a proper software team. If you happen to suggest ideas that could save them $$$ they get mad at you because you are not focused on the task at hand. Oh and god forbid if someone in your family falls ill because they will fire you for missing work even if you offer to work from the hospital while watching over your folks.
