Pros

Good name recognition in the area. Opportunities to move within the company if you're not performing. Some teams are still really well-managed and put together (ie F&A Perm in Reston, Tech Contract in DC)

Cons

This used to be THE best place to work. The culture in the DC and even Reston offices had a bit of a startup feel with how well everyone got along and hung out after work. Once acquired by the Addison Group it all went downhill. Upper Management that was not on-board with the acquisition ran for the hills thus leaving their employees leaderless. Some mornings you can hear a pin drop during the call "blitzes" when everyone is supposed to be on the phone. It is extremely metrics driven now; at one time you were allowed to think creatively and attract talent in other ways than calling people. This is just your typical staffing company now-- sad.

Pros

- Company culture comprised of self-motivated and friendly people all working together to run a successful employment resource, while having fun! So many teams not only spend time together during the week but also on the weekends! - Commission structure beats other agencies by strides! The company recently implemented an activity based commission plan on top of production commission plan to help rookies who are brand new to staffing understand the wonders of earning based on how hard one works! I do not know another staffing agency that does that! Also, many other agencies make you wait until you hit a certain number of deals or profit before you even see your first commission check! The base is also quite competitive to a lot of other agencies! - Upward Mobility! Management provides all employees a clear path to success and growth. Every team has different paths and there is so much opportunity to run your own desk while having the support system of an established and reputable company! - Company growth: Now being part of the Addison Group family, there is opportunity to relocate to other offices all around the country! They send you to Chicago if you are performing well for training that truly sets one up for success!

Cons

As every agency, the metrics are an important part. However, activity is what drives production so if one does not put in the effort, they will not receive the return. It is a sales environment so makes sense!
