Pros

Working independently is the best part of the job, no one is physically breathing down your neck. The pay is probably better than I would find elsewhere just starting out. Having several stores allows you to meet & work with lots of different people. I love getting the free movies sent to my house…"Fox" is extremely generous with movies & t-shirts!

Cons

Complete lack of coordination & communication coming from home office down to the sales field. We are left to try & figure out what really needs to be done. The amount of projects handed down is completely unrealistic. It is humanly impossible to complete what they want done in the time given. I don't understand how the clients are happy with the results. The sales team has to figure out a way to tackle the "important" projects and either lie or answer unable to complete for the rest. And come Monday conference calls we hear about how we are falling below the expectations. Very disheartening and typical of "stuff" rolling downhill. If home office was better prepared and kept us properly informed there would be less disappointments. The amount of mistakes that come with the direction is embarrassing. I think home office also gets greedy with the new clients/projects and does not think about how it"s going to work out with the projects already scheduled. While this is not the worst job in the world, be wary when reading the overly positive reviews on this site, I guarantee they come from upper management who are told to write them!

Pros

It's a job and a paycheck.

Cons

Incredible mismatch between the amount of work expected to do and the time allowed to do it. Lots of late nights, weekends and holidays, work-life balance is a joke. Anderson pushes employees to give more and more all the time year after year. Gold Badge award? Another joke. The gold badge means nothing when you need it to. Get hurt on the job doing exactly what you were asked to do and management (Bill Lardie included) is done with you. If you go to work for Anderson do so with your eyes wide open. It is a job and only a job. Take it for what it's worth. If you buy into the 'we are a family' BS, when you need your family they will not be there for you.
