Pros

The people are nice, strong emphasis on learning and development, clean offices, happy hours every Friday

Cons

Huge emphasis on metrics. If you don't "hit your numbers" even once, you have to have a sit down with your manager to discuss why. The job is basically just sales--cold calling people who generally don't want to be contacted every single day. Occasionally you will stumble across someone who does want help with their job search and you can develop longer term professional relationships with these people and act as a "career consultant" but this aspect of the job is WAY oversold. 90% of your time is a grind, 5% is strategic, 5% is spent socializing with your coworkers.

Pros

Addison Group is a wonderful organization with incredible support from within, opportunities to grow, and great people to work with. I never expected to spend 4+ years of a career here starting out, - but I see a lot more time here in my future!

Cons

The workload can be demanding based on how successful you'd like it to be -- which is not a bad thing at all but the sky's the limit if you're willing to put in the work.
