Pros

Adecco was great to help find a job IF (BIG IF there) you stay on top of them. They have a ton of people trying for a few jobs. You really have to stay fresh in their minds. But I worked in their office as an assistant before I was placed elsewhere. They can get really annoyed if you aren't ready and willing to get up and go when they call you!! There was a wide variety of job opportunities available. They even offered on site training and testing to help you find something compatible with your skills and talents!

Cons

They have a ton of people trying for a few jobs. You really have to stay fresh in their minds. But I worked in their office as an assistant before I was placed elsewhere. They can get really annoyed if you aren't ready and willing to get up and go when they call you!! The ladies in the office somewhat contradicted each other. One lady said that she could tell by how a person walked in the door whether they were a quality candidate! SERIOUSLY!!! The other lady said that everybody should get to do the tests and see what they could do.

Pros

Onboarding for new hires was smooth

Cons

My experience with Adecco Staffing Agency reflects a significant disconnect between the expectations set during onboarding and the reality of assignment execution. There appears to be a consistent misalignment between candidate skill sets and the roles they are placed into, which not only undermines performance but also creates unnecessary inefficiencies for both the employee and the client organization. Assignments are often presented without full transparency regarding scope, schedule, or operational requirements, resulting in frequent adjustments that disrupt workflow continuity and personal planning. Additionally, there is a notable deficiency in accurate and timely reporting. Communication regarding assignment details, schedule changes, and performance expectations lacks consistency and clarity. This creates ambiguity in accountability and limits the employee’s ability to effectively manage deliverables. From a process standpoint, this reflects weak coordination and insufficient control mechanisms within their staffing and reporting systems. Most concerning is the apparent lack of advocacy for the employee. A staffing agency should function as an intermediary that ensures alignment between employer needs and employee capabilities while also safeguarding fair treatment and clear communication. In this case, there is a perception that employee concerns—particularly those related to schedule changes, workload expectations, and workplace conditions—are not adequately addressed or escalated. This ultimately results in a work environment that feels transactional rather than supportive, with limited consideration for employee well-being or long-term success.
