Pros

- Leadership is accessible at anytime for questions, advice, and strategy - Good base salary, and the commissions are great - Great coworkers who you can laugh with and are supportive of one another - Leadership is open to new ideas!

Cons

- You have to live in Chicago for advancement to other positions besides staffing. Company growth is not very feasible. - staffing is hard, but if you stick with it through the rough times and stay consistent, you WILL see success. - takes a while to ramp up to solid commission, but they have a process in place to support you during that.

Pros

Pros - They do try their best to bring in food at times (breakfast, snacks, etc) for employee morale. - Compensation potential is the sky, You genuinely get what you put in.

Cons

Pros - They do try their best to bring in food at times (breakfast, snacks, etc) for employee morale. - Compensation potential is the sky, You genuinely get what you put in. - The training program was pretty good. Cons - The office is very clique based. If you don't kiss up to your boss or the higher ups, you will never get promoted, no matter how much you bring in. - I watched a team do an interview process for a new candidate for their team. They had to two managers do their normal interviews, then they let one of the female recruiters meet with her to see if she would fit their friend group. The men on the team didn't get that opportunity, again pretty clique based. - If you don't drink with your coworkers, or go out to happy hours with them, you get in trouble for not being "involved" even if after work hours. - A lot of unfulfilled promises, raises, bonus, remote days, and they never follow through. - supposed to be hybrid (3 days on site, 2 days remote) as per the offer letter, but once you start, they tell you its 100% on-site unless you hit metrics. - with it being fully on-site, 3 people on my team are specifically fully remote..

Pros

Leadership is genuinely invested in employee success. Feedback is gathered through employee questionnaires, typically sent out quarterly, and follow-up meetings are held to talk through what’s working and where there’s room for improvement. It’s clear there’s an effort to listen and respond to employee input. One of the things I’ve appreciated most is my manager. He’s a strong leader who cares about the team’s success and takes the time to support each person individually. He doesn’t micromanage—he trusts us to do our jobs—but he’s always there to help when needed. There’s definitely opportunity to be successful here, no matter where you sit in the company. On the production side, your results are directly tied to the effort you put in. It’s not a role where you can coast—you need to be motivated and care about your performance. It’s a challenging job, but if you stay consistent and put in the work, the success will follow. Some see the success on the BDM side within 6 months and for others it takes 2 years - it is very different for everyone dependent on the market.

Cons

The first 6–12 months on the producing/BDM side can be tough. It’s definitely more of a long game. Those who stick with it through the early challenges are often the ones who go on to find the most success. In the beginning, it can feel like a bit of a grind without immediate payoff, but with consistency, the results do come—just like with most sales roles. This isn’t a negative reflection on the company itself but more of a reality of the industry. Staffing can be really challenging. There are some tough moments and low points, but they’re often followed by great wins and high highs. It takes resilience, but for the right person, it’s a very rewarding path.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear that leadership support and follow-up are making a positive impact. We’ve heard it can be tough in the beginning, but we have been making big changes and providing new material for fresh BDMs. This includes resources like our Market Data Report and our Workforce Planning Guide. If you ever have ideas on how we can better support you in your work, we would love to hear them at peoplefirst@addisongroup.com.
