      Unethical and Unprofessional

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I cannot think of a single one except maybe the fact that somehow this company continues to grow and make money.

      Cons

      Favoritism is a big one. If you are able to kiss up to just the right people, you will go far in this company. You don't even have to work 40 hours a week to get full time pay and benefits if you're good enough at the kiss up game. They try to promote that they have a fair work/life balance, but that's not the case unless you are a top producer. There is often unethical and unprofessional dialogue within the office, often times about candidates waiting in the lobby to be seen by a recruiter. If you don't fit their "party hard" lifestyle, it's only a matter of time before you are dismissed from your job. Like a high school clique all over again. Often times, there is alcohol being consumed during business hours, which is just unsafe and unprofessional.

      Felt morally wrong

      Recruiter
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Lots of parties/celebrations, good for recent grads -Standard pay for an entry level job

      Cons

      - You're essentially required to lie to candidates all day about the availability of jobs, what they actually pay, fake job postings, pretty much everything. Many of these candidates are people seriously trying to get by who will drive quite some distances for a made-up job you sold them just to put them in the company database. You will be admonished if you don't do this. -Heavy emphasis on metrics -Long hours. It would be virtually impossible to hit metrics as a new recruiter without putting in 50-55+ hr weeks. - Your success as a recruiter is almost entirely dependent on how much the BDM's like you, as they have the final say in which candidates will be interviewing.

      A real review

      Direct hire recruiter
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As someone who worked here for nearly 5 years, the majority of the recent reviews from September are fake and written by the same VP of one particular office.. Addison Group likes to hire recent grads and half their branch managers aren’t actually managers but just robots who repeat what their VP’s tell them to say. It’s a good job to get your feet wet, and if you can make it past 2 years, you’ve done a good job. The experience you’ll gain can definitely translate well to a corporate recruiting role if that is what your long term goal is. Uncapped commission is nice! As long you bill. If you go three + months with no billing and your clients don’t pay, you’re screwed and likely won’t last long enough to see any commission. It’s hard as a new hire to get past that hurdle.

      Cons

      -No diversity. -It all comes down to if you’re a big biller or not. If you are, you can basically do whatever the hell you want (even if it goes against policy) without repercussions or your manager giving a crap. -They care too much about KPI’s. You billed 40k in a month? But you only had 49 conversations and not 50 in a week?!? “YOU NEED TO TRY HARDER, CLEARLY YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR JOB!!” -They are awful at implementing things, or they implement things too soon without thinking it over. Often you’ll do something that they rolled out but then nothing comes from it until one day 5 months later they’ll ask you why you never sent out a skill market email to all of your contacts who gave the company an order back in 2005 whose names begin with the letter B and is your half cousin from Arizona. -Did I mention no diversity?
