Pros

Pros - They do try their best to bring in food at times (breakfast, snacks, etc) for employee morale. - Compensation potential is the sky, You genuinely get what you put in.

Cons

Pros - They do try their best to bring in food at times (breakfast, snacks, etc) for employee morale. - Compensation potential is the sky, You genuinely get what you put in. - The training program was pretty good. Cons - The office is very clique based. If you don't kiss up to your boss or the higher ups, you will never get promoted, no matter how much you bring in. - I watched a team do an interview process for a new candidate for their team. They had to two managers do their normal interviews, then they let one of the female recruiters meet with her to see if she would fit their friend group. The men on the team didn't get that opportunity, again pretty clique based. - If you don't drink with your coworkers, or go out to happy hours with them, you get in trouble for not being "involved" even if after work hours. - A lot of unfulfilled promises, raises, bonus, remote days, and they never follow through. - supposed to be hybrid (3 days on site, 2 days remote) as per the offer letter, but once you start, they tell you its 100% on-site unless you hit metrics. - with it being fully on-site, 3 people on my team are specifically fully remote..

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,
