Pros

I QUIT. So let's start there. I am a previous employee who took a much better opportunity making more money than management here ever will....in another sales role. Ability to earn a decent/average income. Ability to learn a lot about what management styles you prefer and don't vibe with as an employee , early into career development out of college. Knowledge of the recruiting and interview process to help you get a new job somewhere else when you've had enough of the toxic management and disgusting culture. Acquire very well-rounded experience with HR do's and do not's that will lead you into a successful role and as an employee at a company that values you. This job taught me everything it could to help me become a very valuable asset somewhere else, and I am truly thankful that I worked there to learn those lessons the hard way.

Cons

I wish I knew where to start..... If you EARN commission and quit, as in the customer paid the invoice before your date of leaving, they will try to get a way with not paying commission entitled to you. Don't worry the TWC can open an investigation. Don't settle for a loss of your money because they're greedy and don't mind a tainted reputation as an employer. If you are a person of color, I would reconsider accepting an offer here. The discrimination and blatant racism I experience at this office was unlike anything I've seen in a professional setting. The culture is to drink and cold call. That is not exactly the path of someone who is successful in sales or recruiting. There are plenty of other roles that will make you feel less like a "salesperson" for 4x the wages. This is an experience to add to your resume, not a place to spend your career long-term. The money is good, but it ain't great. The grass is much greener in other industries and your wallet will be too.

Pros

Corporate tried to implement a decent employee training program, they have a nice new office in Nashville and a few good people that are effectively trapped in the madhouse.

Cons

This company has some real issue in the Nashville office. The environment is so incredibly toxic that I have no idea where to begin. The dysfunction was rampant. The team was truly made up of some of the lowest level of intellect I have ever encountered in my adult life. If you do not clean house of management in the Nashville division, the office will hit a block wall due to turnover (I don't care if your overall trend is moving upward in spread). I hate it, and it's sad, but these people were truly some of the most spiteful, jealous and mean hearted individuals I have ever, and I hope I will ever, work with in a professional capacity. The amount of sex, drugs and alcohol that runs through that office is insane. I'm a pretty easy to get along with person and I enjoy having a good time but i'm worth more than being forced to play drinking games on a random Tuesday night. The issue is that in healthcare no one has any real friends outside of work and this weird sense of jealousy arrises if you refuse to go to every outing with them. It's borderline creepy. Avoid working for this company. Hold out for a position that gives you meaning and purpose and allows you to work with individuals that have at least a baseline acceptable level of morals and intelligence.

Pros

decent starting salary for new grad. They hire people right out of college so it's easy to make friends your age.

Cons

I’ve noticed that many people that are leaving reviews are new grads that have been there under a year and don’t know what they’re getting into OR managers that want to make sure they have positive reviews to find talent. I can confidently say that every negative review from Addison Group OR Mondo is 100% true. Since the recent “people first” marketing campaign, I have to voice my experience. I was with the company for over 5 years and was a top producer. This is what I’ve witnessed: *Abuse of drugs and alcohol *A switch to a churn and burn culture…hire a bunch of new grads and “see who sticks” *Sexual harassment and managers pursuing subordinates 10+ years younger than them * Acquiring several companies and not knowing how to effectively integrate *We’ve had managers/executives talk poorly about companies that we acquired * The President of IT threatening employees that resign to sue them if they leave for a competitor * When Mondo presented their digital marketing business so Addison Group could also sell it, we were told by executive leadership from Addison Group not to act interested when they presented *Management telling people in order to succeed they must work after hours *gaslighting candidates that are interviewing for us if they turn down a job. “you don’t know what position you’re putting the manager in” * Hiring managers that are expected to be the top producer – this creates a culture where you can not produce more than the manager or else they feel threatened *I’ve had an executive personally tell me to tell a client that we will poach their employees if they don’t sign our agreement *They talk poorly about everyone that leaves. “they weren’t a fit here”….this is not normal. * We had a colleague that found a new job and was fired because they found out she was leaving *completely out of touch with modern day recruiting
