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.

Addison Group Response

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.

Toxic work environment

Pros

If you enjoy a binge drinking/frat house atmosphere and don’t care about your future or company morale, this place is for you!

Cons

If you are a woman, a POC, or simply a human with decency who is looking for a great career and a healthy work environment, this place IS NOT FOR YOU. Hoping this review might save someone from ever working here. Never experienced such a horrific work environment in my entire life. This is a racist, cliquey, immature, hostile work environment. Anyone with an ounce of morale will either speak up or quit. As soon as you speak up about the corrupt environment, you are gossiped about and no longer supported. Highly unprofessional - and that’s not in a “fun” or “cool company culture” type of way. It’s highly unprofessional in an uncomfortable, degrading type of way. Heard employees make fun of multiple new hires right from the get go. Managers will also only hire “attractive” predominately white, recent college grads for recruiters (assuming the binge drinking is a great selling point for that niche) And those who have already been there for years are brainwashed into thinking a refrigerator full of alcohol is “company culture” and ok to consume at 1pm on a Monday. Multiple rounds of shots at happy hour (could be 6 shots per person) are charged on the company card yet managers belittle their recruiters for not meeting their numbers... TOXIC. Favoritism left and right. Managers gossip more than their own employees do, so they just encourage that type of high school, childlike environment. Higher ups will claim the high turnover rate is simply part of the recruiting industry - when truthfully their management style is garbage, resulting in employees crying everyday in private, hating their life, or moving on to a more ethical recruiting firm with better pay. As soon as I got hired here, recruiters and BDMs were quitting left and right. Most of them warned me of the horrors of this place and my regret is not leaving earlier on. When I saw the married, middle aged male in my office inappropriately touching and grinding on the dance floor with a recent college grad recruiter at a work event, I knew this place was trash.
