Waukesha, WI

Former Employee – worked at Adecco as a contractor for more than a year

ProsGE was an outstanding company at which to work. Great people, growth and challenging assignments.

ConsAs the employer, ADECCO Staffing was terrible. Sometimes I was paid a week or more late. They put you in the job and ignore you.

Advice to Senior ManagementSomehow work into the hourly wage a week of vacation. I did not miss a single day of work during my contract because I could not afford to be off. However, I do think my performance would have been optimized with a day or two off here and there during the year.
