Pros

- alcohol constantly - free food sometimes

Cons

- alcohol constantly - horrible gossip/mean girl mentality - misconduct ranging from sexual harassment to verbal abuse of employees from leadership - hemorrhaging top performers due to micromanagement and bad culture - highly deceptive about pay/commission structures - outright favoritism and unequal team treatment, ranging from reward structures to opportunity at the company - senior management behaves inappropriately without consequence, reporting to HR is not viewed as an option - no performance improvement plans in place for struggling new hires, they are just fired within their first 6 months - can, will, and has terminated employees as retaliation for seeking new employment

Pros

Your success is directly tied to your effort. The company offers uncapped earning potential, strong career growth opportunities, and rewards high performers.

Cons

At times, resources are allocated toward initiatives and technology that don't consistently translate into measurable value for client-facing producers.

Pros

I have a job and I like the company I am on contract with.

Cons

This company has shady hiring practices. First, the would not provide any info into the benefits before getting hired. No info on insurance, 401k, or anything else. That should have been a red flag, as benefits packages should be used to compare the job to others. After being selected for my role, I was given the contract to sign and review. Right away I noticed the hourly rate was $5.00 lower than was we previously agreed to. I immediately brought this to the attention of the rep with Addison Group. I was told they could resubmit me at the higher rate, but that could potentially get the company to choose someone else instead of me, After being out of work for almost 4 months, I couldn't take that chance. As a consolation prize, the rep told me the role would get overtime which would make up for the lower rate as I would be working some long hours occasionally. The first time I worked over 40 hours, I quickly realized that was not the case. I did get paid for all the hours I worked, but it was not time and a half. After being hired, I asked for the employee benefits guide and was quickly shot down again. The told me the package was proprietary and very comprehensive and I would not be able to view them until I was eligible to get them. Once I was eligible, I did get a copy of the benefits and they are the worst I ever seen,
