Pros

I am not here to advocate for or against Anchor really. Staffing is a unique industry, whether it is this company or another. Some people really love staffing and some really don't. People have their rights to give valid issues with their employer but I did want to note a few things - I do not own the company. First, in a commission and bonus job - what you can make and what you will make is based on effort. No perspective employees are told a definitive dollar amount here other than their salary. Basically, no one is lied to about how much money they will make because no one here knows how hard an employee will work.

Cons

No one here has ever trained 100 people because we have only hired about 40-50 internally over 11 years. The reviews here are 5 of those 50 people. There have been one or two of those that were in fact fired in short amount of time but no one was terminated without cause. Actually, the owners give people much more of a chance than competitors and take into account the people and the numbers but bottom line, we are a sales organization. The owners are the only ones here with the authority to terminate anyone so employee speculation and rumor-based opinions shouldn’t be something anyone takes as fact There is a likelihood that people will work long hours here but if employees accomplish a reasonable amount of productive work, most are gone by 5:30p and I haven’t seen anyone here over the weekend in years. On the opposite end, if you are driven by financial gain, you can choose to work harder and perhaps longer and be rewarded financially for it. Finally, we have really only ever opened 3 offices, 2 of which are still open – you can google both.

Pros

None, there is a revolving door at this company. I've trained well over 100 people here over 3 years only to have them be fired 2 weeks later. There is no training with this job. You basically have to learn the ropes on your own and if you don't you're gone. The CEO comes in 1-2x per week to hand out paychecks and yell at employees for numbers being low. They even fired 2 people for not coming to a company happy. There was one poor girl who moved here for the job who was fired for not coming to a company paintball event.

Cons

Everything, the salary is way too low compared to what the market offers. 0 work/life balance. They will make you come in on weekends to fill jobs (that you won't make any money off of) when you've already spent 50+ hour Monday - Friday. It's a bunch of entitled recent college grads who think they know everything even though they only have 6 months of experience. It's a bunch of kids looking like they are getting ready to go to formal in the office. Stay away
