Pros

Making great friendships-unfortunately the backbone of these friendships were bonded though work-related stress, instability and uncertainty that comes with working at Addison Group. Compensation can be good but it is very difficult to sustain Training program is well structured. Be prepared to role play a lot. This is definitely needed for this position but seems to be very uncomfortable for most

Cons

High expectations and poor work-life balance- this is a metrics driven environment with weekly meetings with your manager to discuss your performance. Expectations are the same as they were 2 years ago and they do not align with a 2023 market. Almost no one was coming close to the expectations in my last several months(even when the market was better). In result, the stress trickles into your life outside of work. Every week is the rat race for everyone at Addison Group. If you are not performing the company will put you on a week by week probation plan. If you do not hit your metrics they let you go. In my time at this company I saw this happen many times. Very high turn over…lots of people quit, lots of people get let go. The company hired individuals on under a hybrid structure, but once the 2023 market hit and the company failed to meet budget, they took all remote days away and made them incentives instead. Again, expectations were extremely high and almost no one in our location was able to work from home. The company hires new grads. People who are eager to make a lot of money and don’t know any better. No one with experience and common sense would entertain this job.

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. We’re disappointed to hear that you feel that, besides the great training program, your experience wasn’t pleasant. Our #1 goal is to ensure a quality experience and to do that we look to feedback on platforms such as Glassdoor. This helps us identify new areas of opportunity where we can improve the way we work and even take advice on the metrics that are being set.

Pros

Addison Group is a wonderful organization with incredible support from within, opportunities to grow, and great people to work with. I never expected to spend 4+ years of a career here starting out, - but I see a lot more time here in my future!

Cons

The workload can be demanding based on how successful you'd like it to be -- which is not a bad thing at all but the sky's the limit if you're willing to put in the work.
