Pros

I had a really nice team. Unfortunately, I do not have much else to say because the cons outweigh the pros.

Cons

Instead of motivating employees through incentives, management often plays puppeteer to control every single move in the workplace. They require employees to follow phone scripts, produce chunky metrics, take short lunches, work through sick days, and give up their cellphones. Micromanagement, gossip, and low pay lead to high levels of attrition. Turbulent operational strategies lack basic direction and vision for long-term consequences.

Pros

Its a job, you get a salary. It is a temporary job, where you have no real career chances or ways to become an IBM employee

Cons

Answer phones. keep it short, make sure you give service. And then go home with your practically non existing pay.

Adecco Response

Many of our clients do offer the opportunity to move from temp to perm. You can treat the temporary experience as an extended interview, an opportunity to show the client what you can do full-time! If you'd like to expand your feedback about the incompetent management we'd appreciate you sharing further details by emailing "socialfeedback@adeccona.com."
