Pros

Good company to work for. The atmosphere was conducive and allowed people to do their best. Great talent at Handleman.

Cons

Corporate strategy was Handleman's demise. Their strategy of being the last people in the distributing physical music (CDs) lead them to bankruptcy. It's a shame because so many talented workers.

Flexible Hours Good District Managers Opportunities to advance

The company died out as people transitions from CDs to digital downloads and streaming for music. The company did what it could to transition into other businesses.

Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working for Handleman Company unless you are/were one of the chosen few. If so, you would be given "vice president" titles and obscenely disproportionate salaries based not on merit but on who you knew in the power seats.

Cons

No loyalty to employees No upper management integrity No career development program Employee contributions not recognized or valued No work/life balance Poor benefits
