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.

Pros

There is NO good reason to work here! The pay is horrific! I was told when I was hired that TSL's don't work weekends. Ha! Most Saturdays you will work And then they'll be a schedule change, where they'll add more hours and more stores to your weekend work. This is even with only 4 hours of availability required for Saturday's. TSL's are expected to not only do their assigned work, but do the merchandisers job, when they cannot finish their task, for the week. Daily schedule changes, so throw work life balance out the window. Constantly expected to go help at other stores and territories, without prior warning, and then expected to finish assigned weekly tasks, on top of that. Management is horrible. No leadership skills. DEMAND things constantly. Ungrateful and completely unprofessional! Care more about how they look and if their team likes them. Management throws you under the bus, to cover up their errors. Incoming text all day, night and weekend long, even though Anderson preaches work life balance. Overnight resets happen without ample warning, from managers. Store management treats you like crap because Anderson management is unorganized and promises things that they won't follow threw on. A lot of tasks are timely, but Anderson will not give you extra help. For the amount of work and headache, that Anderson gives you, the low pay is not worth sticking around.

Cons

Low pay! Bad insurance! No work like balance! Pretty much everything. Please read all of the negative comments and heed the warning. I did not and learned very quickly that Anderson is the worst company to ever work for.

Pros

The flexibility is great, the job seems to be very secure and growing more constantly.

Cons

The workload expectations are not realistic at all. There are many changes coming soon, and everything is being kept very hush hush. Concerned that they are hiring a part time person per store and my current part timer has 4 hours this week. Good that they raised part time starting pay, and also raised the current part timer’s pay also- but when they raised the full time starting pay, there were no adjustments made to current full time. I feel there is no loyalty to associates, especially long time associates like myself. I have low premiums on insurance, but can’t go to the doctor because I can’t afford to pay out of pocket until I meet the ridiculously high deductible.
