Pros

-Your peers are generally awesome to work with and connect to. -I had several opportunities to travel. -I had a good relationship with my immediate managers.

Cons

I left Anderson last year for a job that only paid marginally better because I finally realized that all of the effort I'd put into developing myself as a manager, all of the time I had spent away from home for the company's benefit, and all the good work I had done to improve things really did not mean much to anyone. My education and training were seen as threatening and the credit for my work was (knowingly) given to and (knowingly) accepted by those that had little, if any, actually role in the creation of said work. I'm glad I had this job. It taught me perseverance. It forced me to realize that you can't lay all of your self-worth at the feet of others' expectations and thoughts. It made me realize that I deserved better, not just as a person but as an employee. Although leaving the Anderson bubble (and seriously, this company definitely operates inside of one) was difficult at first, I have already been promoted within my first year at my new company and my pay has almost doubled in that same amount of time. So once again: thank you, subpar leadership at Anderson Merchandisers, for finally pushing me over the edge enough to get out just in time before my career was ruined. I would not have my current success without you.

Serious Lack of Company Direction

Pros

No micro-managing. DMs communicate primarily through conference calls, emails and text. You rarely see your DM unless your store complains.

Cons

Inconsistent and incomplete direction. Multitude of varying projects to complete. ((This can be a pro also - no boredom.) DIrection and focus of company. Are we merchandisers? Are we project drones for anything to make company money? Complete lack of proper remuneration. Starting TSLs make same as 10+ year veterans. No raises - ever. Mileage is very low. 20+ cents less than IRS maximum allowed. Too many TSLs. Recent asorption of Best Buy leaders has glutted our work force. No bonus for first year in quite a while. Seriously that does not inspire work force.
