Pros

When I first joined Anderson, I genuinely thought I had landed a great job. The first few months were smooth, and the work felt manageable. But it didn’t take long for the cracks to show—and when they did, they split wide open. AI Chaos and Complete Disregard for Employees: Anderson rolled out a new AI-based app, and I was among the first unlucky testers. The app was a disaster—glitchy, unreliable, and a complete headache. Rather than addressing our concerns or improving the system, Anderson pushed forward, making the job unnecessarily difficult. They cared more about testing their tech experiment than ensuring their employees could do their jobs effectively. A Company That Pretends to Care—Until You Get Hurt: For a while, the job was just barely tolerable. But everything changed the moment I was injured on the job. All of this was caught on camera, Instead of receiving help I was treated like an inconvenience. Anderson’s workers’ compensation process is nothing short of a scam. I followed every protocol they gave me, yet multiple doctors turned me away because Anderson failed to send the proper documentation. Discarded and Dehumanized: After my injury, Anderson showed their true colors. They didn’t just fail to support me—they actively made my life harder. They canceled my benefits, including short-term disability that I had been paying for out of my own pocket. Then, they terminated my employment entirely, leaving me without income, insurance, or a shred of dignity. It was as if I had done something wrong by getting hurt on their watch. The Ugly Truth About Anderson Anderson is a company that treats its employees like tools—useful until something goes wrong, at which point they’ll toss you aside without a second thought. They don’t care about your well-being, your financial stability, or even following basic ethical practices. My Advice to Future Employees: If you’re considering Anderson, don’t. This company starts off like a dream but quickly reveals itself as a toxic, soulless organization. You’ll be overworked, unsupported, and ultimately discarded the moment you need help. No job is worth the stress, disrespect, and betrayal that comes with working for Anderson.

Pros

Travel to different cities and small towns. Per diem is adequate. Meet new people.

Cons

Managers do not know how to manage people. Most managers are knowledgeable with what is expected of them, but do not know how to manage people. There are only a select few that treat their subordinates with respect and professionalism. Also, the pay is sub par. I understand that headcount is important, but they take it to a entirely new level. A lot of the workers just show up and barely work because nobody...especially management...makes them.

Pros

Paid Weekly, Cross Trained in Every Dept You Can Think of.

Cons

The pay does not equate to the amount of work you are required to do. You are involved in just about every dept in Walmart and a few other retail/grocery stores. So being paid less then $18/hr to work tens of depts vs working for other merchandising companies in fewer depts and better pay. The micromanaging is very intense. The managers express how people don’t last more than 90 days. The work itself is bearable, but the constant calls and texts from managers (who I can only guess do so to appear busy) can be suffocating for someone who wanted this job for flexibility and to be able to work independently. I’ve already had a few conversations with management about the lack of professionalism they have when, at the very least, speaking to me. So I can absolutely see why people learn enough to get their foot into the merchandising world and then leave expeditiously. Let’s not forgot your schedule can change DAILY. You will receive calls and/or texts messages at 6am or late in the evening. Even when you’re not on on the clock. Lastly, the whole reason their pay is so low is because they say it’s a family owned business. Take 2 seconds and research the company. And then tell me again the reason for low pay? Yes I was aware of the pay when starting. They just need to not use the excuse that it’s a family owned business as the reason. Overall, come to this company to understanding merchandising and the immediately get a job with another company making more money. The jobs themselves aren’t terrible with this company. But all the extra stuff I mentioned is unnecessary headaches that aren’t worth it.
