If you hate yourself this is the place for you

Pros

- I was able to pay my bills because I had a job - Working at this company, you feel like you've hit rock bottom so you know you're only going up from there

Cons

- It was like management competed to see who could be the most immature and unprofessional - The pay is much lower than what our competitors offered their recruiters - You will be expected to work evenings and weekends because the most important thing is putting money in your managements pocket - Management will expect you to be subserviant and noncombative for if your opinion clashes with theirs and you so dare to voice it, be prepared for them to pull you into a room and threaten your job. - There will be gossip groups and cliques but if you're an actual adult and choose to refrain from immersing yourself in either of those, you won't be valued. (management also has their favorites and supports only those they deem worthy enough for them) - You will be trained not to be honest with people and expected to lie to your candidates if it means making the company some money.

A Waste of Time and Unprofessional

Recruiter

Business Outlook

Pros

Minimal effort required to get the job done. Office is close to the metra. Office is modern. They have a coffee machine.

Cons

Management is UNPROFESSIONAL. Office has ZERO diversity. The pay and commission structure they tell you is most likely false, as goes for any company with a commission structure - you never make what they tell you you’re going to make. ($60-70k for recruiting? No way!!)

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your time at Addison Group. Addison Group pays a competitive base salary and offers generous compensation plans with unlimited earning potential. While the staffing industry is not suited for every person, we do our best to assist those employees who are better-suited for another industry to find employment if they so wish. We would love to hear more specific information related to your experience in order to determine how we can improve, whether that be in the interview process or on-boarding (since it is slightly unclear what the scenario here was).
