Pros

- no commission cap - schedule your own meetings, control your day - friendly workplace - great teams! - great bonus plans even before you're on commission

Cons

- your experience can differ depending on what vertical you're in- I love my vertical but I understand not every management style is the same - It can be a grind, you get what you put in and sometimes less than you put in. The first year is the toughest, but if you work hard and put in the extra hours your first couple years it get easier and you start to see more wins -sometimes you work hard on a deal to have it fall through- there's many factors in recruiting and many of them are out of your control. It can be disappointing when a client pulls out at the last minute or your candidates are flaky. This happens and is the nature of the job. If you can ride out the losses the wins are worth it!

DO NOT WORK HERE

Pros

Some cool people, but anyone with a moral compass leaves in the first year. Literally nothing else positive about working here, the year I spent at Addison Group was the most miserable year of my life.

Cons

I could go on for days. Hands down the most horrifying thing I witnessed was the rampant discrimination and racism. Every single person on my team was white and when we had jobs open, management and BDMs would tell us "the client is looking for PLUs (stands for 'people like us', meaning white Americans)" or would say "this manager is going to hire a 'John' or a 'Matthew', not a 'Vivesh'". The amount of racism and discrimination I witnessed there was extremely disturbing, from discriminating against candidates based on their name, accent, national origin, and age, to sending a mass email to employees asking us not to speak on the racial and civil rights issues prevalent in this country until the CEO made his stance clear (he remained silent for about 2 weeks and expected all employees to do the same). The management here is also the worst I've ever personally experienced. Constantly belittling the staff, hounding on numbers, etc., not to mention your manager is your direct competition and often don't really care to invest their time and energy into the success of their team. I worked in two offices and had a similar experience with both, it seems like it's just the culture of the company. Whether you're a contractor looking to work with a recruiter here or are a recruiter looking for an agency, from the bottom of my heart, look elsewhere.

Great culture and friendships made

Cons

Cut throat environment where they say they care about your mental health, education, and helping you succeed - but they really don’t
