Pros

Making great friendships-unfortunately the backbone of these friendships were bonded though work-related stress, instability and uncertainty that comes with working at Addison Group. Compensation can be good but it is very difficult to sustain Training program is well structured. Be prepared to role play a lot. This is definitely needed for this position but seems to be very uncomfortable for most

Cons

High expectations and poor work-life balance- this is a metrics driven environment with weekly meetings with your manager to discuss your performance. Expectations are the same as they were 2 years ago and they do not align with a 2023 market. Almost no one was coming close to the expectations in my last several months(even when the market was better). In result, the stress trickles into your life outside of work. Every week is the rat race for everyone at Addison Group. If you are not performing the company will put you on a week by week probation plan. If you do not hit your metrics they let you go. In my time at this company I saw this happen many times. Very high turn over…lots of people quit, lots of people get let go. The company hired individuals on under a hybrid structure, but once the 2023 market hit and the company failed to meet budget, they took all remote days away and made them incentives instead. Again, expectations were extremely high and almost no one in our location was able to work from home. The company hires new grads. People who are eager to make a lot of money and don’t know any better. No one with experience and common sense would entertain this job.

Pros

- Work Life Balance is great as long as you are working hard when you are supposed to be working. - Great commission structure that allows anyone the opportunity to make six figures regardless of how long you have worked at Addison. - Allows me the ability to celebrate with team members when they reach milestones/goals. - Gives individuals the ability to control their paycheck. What you do or don't do, directly correlates to your OWN paycheck.

Cons

- We have grown exponentially throughout my career, which is great, but occasionally feels like we have forgotten about the things that helped us grow to this level in the first place.

Pros

As a working mom, I have all the flexibility I need and never have to choose between work or my kids. The leadership is why I am here for so long. I am cared about, my family matters and my business matters. As long as I am working hard and meeting my deadlines and metrics they let me do life as I need to which is my top priority. Being a working parent is tough enough so working for a company and leader who recognizes that is a game changer.

Cons

This business is not for everyone - its incredibly busy and demanding. Being able to juggle the many pivots during the day and taking extra time as needed outside of the 8-5 is required for longevity and success in this industry. I feel like Addison gives me the tools to do this successfully though.
