Avantages

Fun sales environment. Go for beers on team night. Play fun games in the morning.

Inconvénients

Cult atmosphere. Employees dedicate 10+ hours a day and are ridiculed for trying to have a work life / personal life balance. The success rate of 'owners' demonstrates why this is not an 'opportunity'. Do you really want to make 11$ an hour? No? Good, because at Addella you wont make 11$/hr, you will make even less.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Most people are unfamiliar with a work environment that is constantly positive, motivating and full of people who come into work excited about what they do. It's understandable that this might come off as different or unfamiliar for the average person, however our company isn't built on average standards. If somebody wants to get ahead and earn a promotion, they're probably putting in more time and energy than their peers. This isn’t unique to Addella – there are some people who put in a tonne of time and some who don’t, just like any other company. We sincerely apologize on behalf of whoever made you feel insignificant for not sharing their same values. The compensation structure here at Addella is extremely attractive because the highest performers are awarded with the highest income and advancement opportunities. If we invested most our revenue into base salaries for everybody at the entry-level; this would certainly raise the floor but it would significantly drop the ceiling and put an undesirable cap on the earning potential of our hardest working and highest performing entry-level team members, who we view to be our #1 priority. We are thankful that you provided feedback on your own personal experience with our company and again, are sorry if things did not work out the way we all hoped when we initially brought you on to the team. If we decided to work with you in the first place, it’s because we saw potential and really liked you. With that said, we wish you the best of luck on your future endeavours.

Avantages

Addella is definitely a fun office environment where everyone is very motivated, excited, and young. A lot of supportive people and Luc was the most inspiring person I've ever met. If you work here you will pick up some good advice on how to do sales successfully and also become much more outgoing.

Inconvénients

You will be doing door-to-door sales (if you do sales and not HR etc). This will never be told to you explicitly or during your first interview. Your pay is commission for what you can sell. You spend the entire day in your territory walking to businesses and giving them an exact sales pitch. You can't deviate from the pitch. You will spend lots of time practising this pitch. There is an almost cult-like vibe there, such that no one can ever be negative and the firm sells you this idea that if you work yourself to the bone you will get rich. This does happen from a very, very small minority of people, but for most, it won't happen. "First one to the field, first one to get money!" Everyone will say their big dream in life is to own an island or party in Ibiza once Addella gets them rich, but it won't happen. CBC Marketplace did an expose on a place called Mox1 Business Solutions; a similar direct marketing firm. Also search Slave Circle on Youtube; this will give you an exact idea of what this Cydcor operation is. This is very hard work and you will probably quit after a month or two.

Avantages

First impression of the company was that the management team is very inspired and supportive, and that the employees are all young, intelligent, and ambitious individuals. Work environment is super upbeat so it made coming into work everyday exhilarating. Work day consists of morning meetings, campaign meetings, leadership workshops, visiting prospective clients and follow up meetings with existing clients, followed with an end-of-the-day wrap up at the office. My colleagues were all phenomenal, always pushing me be better, aspire to more, and making time to help each other grow and develop as a unit.

Inconvénients

Though the benefits of working here are definitely plenty, there are definitely a lot of work to be done. One of the first things I learned while being here was that everyone has ambition, everyone has goals and dreams. The difference between those who attain their goals, and those who do not, are the amount that they are willing to sacrifice in order to do so. The work hours are long IF you truly wish to get ahead, however nothing extracurricular is mandatory. The nature of the work is also not a walk in the park, but that's precisely the part of the role that builds a host of skills, resilience, and a relentless attitude.
