Pros

This is a great place to get started in your career as a recruiter. They provide you with all the tools you will need as well as good feedback. If you are recently out of college, you will be surrounded by lots of people your age. This could be a good or bad thing come to think about it.

Cons

This is a very sink or swim type culture. If you get on a larger team, there is little room for one on one training, so get used to figuring out a lot of things by yourself. Scummy the way I was let go during Covid. I asked about furloughing so I can get back on the team when the market turns around, I was told "Addison Group does not furlough people." Come to find out several people on our team got furloughed and has since returned to the office. Wish they would've just been straight up with me instead of lying.

We appreciate your having taken the time to write a review. Obviously, we do not know the details of your particular situation and exit from the company. That said, as you have conceded, Addison Group has a strong, performance-based operating philosophy and culture. The pandemic’s arrival was a necessary moment to reassess all of our people and needs. Given its impact, we furloughed some high performing field and support team individuals, and have now brought all those people back as market demand returned. We regret if there was any misunderstanding about that process, and wish you all of the best in your new pursuits.

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.
