Pros
Nothing about the job was difficult to grasp or understand. It wasn't hard to be a top performer. Pay for management was in-line with other companies.
Cons
Lots of broken promises, very hard to tell where you stand. I worked several years without a singe performance review. They have these 10 guiding principals, but neither "Honesty", "Ethics", nor "integrity" are among them. I don't believe this is an oversight. If you're in management, you have to travel a lot. They consider travel days as time off. NO ONE knows who this company is. Useless on a resume. Add to that, they're deceptive about the company's history on their own web site. A little research indicates that Anderson News, which was started in 1917, located in TN was completely shut down in 2009. Anderson Merchandisers, located in TX was purchased from Wal-Mart in 1994, prior to that it was known as Western Merchandiser. They were only permitted to service Wal-Mart stores through the late 2010s. Two completely different companies with different HQs in different states, but they're misrepresenting them as one strong company with a long history. In this age of game changing start-ups, why be deceptive to make one's company seem older?
