Winston-Salem, NC

Current Employee – been working at Adecco full-time for less than a year

ProsPay rate is more than any job I have ever held. Staff at the Winston-Salem office are incredibly professional and very helpful. I have never seen a temp agency be so well run and driven to help their employees.

Consabsolutely no cons to report. I have never been so satisfied with a employeer

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep doing what you are doing! Adecco will certainly be a recommendation to anyone I know looking for work.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Los Angeles, CA

Former Employee – worked at Adecco part-time for less than a year

ProsI wish I had something nice to say.

ConsDidn't pay on time multiple times. Didn't call me when a company had actually wanted me to come back to work. (the company called me directly and asked why I didn't want to come back to work for them. I didn't even know that they wanted me to come back because Adecco didn't call me and let me know.) I didn't have a job at the time so the sooner I went back to work the better. Everyone in the Adecco office blamed everyone else for not having their "act" together.

Advice to Senior ManagementTake responsibility of your errors and pay people on time. You are a staffing service, if you can't staff yourself properly why would anyone else ever want to use you to staff their company!!!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Beaverton, OR

Former Employee – worked at Adecco full-time for less than a year

ProsThe pay is competitive, although the way in which they pay and add up your hours is the strangest I have ever experienced.
They have representatives in every workplace and are easy to contact.

ConsIf they are not busy, they will send you home right away.
If they continue to not be steadily busy, they will make up a reason to lay you off (from what I saw).

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Roanoke, VA

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

ProsDid not take long to get a job once they received my application. I liked being able to get in touch with them through the computer via email or the conventional way of the phone.

ConsOne of the biggest problems is that they do not communicate with each other in the office so you tend to have to go over the problem more than once before you get an answer and if you are working a long tern assignment they seem to forget about you.

Advice to Senior Managementmake sure that the local staff communicates better with each other about potential clients and if their is a problem that an employee is having that they make everyone aware or make them aware that you are trying to resolve the problem

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.

Livonia, MI

Former Employee – worked at Adecco full-time for more than a year

ProsDecent Pay. not much more i can say about it.

ConsThe benefits are the worst i've ever heard of. The cost for family insurance was $260 a week, with a MAXIMUM of $1500 for outpatient surgery coverage.

Meaning in 2 months you pay more than they will pay for coverage. If you want the better coverage, it's $400 a week.

No sick time, No vacation time.

I was contracted out to another company by Adecco, in the 18 months i heard from Adecco one time. very poor communication.

Advice to Senior ManagementGet better Health Insurance.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
