I am very disappointed with how Addison Group has been handling Covid since the Summer of 2020 and unfortunately, it has only gotten worse. For a company that preaches “People First, Process Second”… and a former Addison employee for 5+ years, it couldn’t be further from the truth. I do not recommend applying, interviewing, or working at Addison Group.
During the spikes of Covid-19 over almost the last 2 years, Addison Group has been living in a false reality. It’s obvious that Addison Group doesn’t prioritize the safety and health of its employees and their families. One way this is shown is the lack of communication to the employees when someone in the office tested positive. We weren’t notified until days, sometimes up to a week, after a positive case, and there was no further mandate instructing people to stay home. Furthermore, the decision to return to office in spring 2020 was a rush to judgment. Although almost all employees disagreed with this decision, the executive team forced, not suggested, all employees return to the office, resulting in a huge turnover of many long-term, valued employees.
Not surprisingly, the prioritization of their holiday party, which doesn’t require proof of vaccination or negative covid results, is disappointing, irresponsible, unprofessional, and dangerous, and previous and current employees alike have all shared this sentiment. This mindset and lack of care for employees, even before Covid, starts at the top and will never change until there’s a major restructure within the organization.
