Pros
-Communicative on growth opportunities from inception -Addison Group invests in employees who invest in Addison Group. The staffing industry is not for the faint of heart, but if you show up, respect the grind, and put the work in, Addison Group will invest in you. -Addison Group invests in Addison Group: our CEO hired a top consulting group to evaluate company culture. After a 75% survey response rate, the findings were that 90% of the company approves of our culture. The average sales organization receives a 40-50% approval rating from internal employees. Guess what? There is still work being done from the top down to make the company even stronger. -The environment is conducive to those who have no ceiling to their work ethic. -The way we are trained always puts people before process. This goes for candidates, clients, and internal employees. It's meaningful to work for a company that keeps the 'human' at the forefront and executes such on a daily basis. -Compensation. Addison Group doesn't skimp around on commission structure or bonus payouts - the work ethic pays off here because there is no ceiling to earnings, and base / commission is paid out weekly. -Solid leadership foundation with high standards and a true dedication to the employees of Addison Group - Learning and Development department is truly on top of their game. This helps bring structure and understanding to new hires, and continued education for tenured employees. -Team environment - this goes back to people before process aspect of Addison Group. The 'cut throat' mentality has no room on these teams. There are standardized guidelines to promote a team atmosphere where individual success translates to team success.
Cons
-This industry is not for everyone, and often those who leave Addison Group leave the industry all together. -The first 6 months are the hardest. Like any sales-related job, it is a grind and sometimes stragglers get lost in the hard work. As a manager, I find that those who trust our process generally make it through and are empowered by their hard work and personal success. -Doing the bare minimum will often result in a negative experience - there are high expectations at Addison Group for self motivation. -We are in the staffing industry and sometimes everything is done the right way and things still go wrong. Thick skin is imperative and resilience is a key characteristic you will build from day one.
