Pros

Benefits- medical and dental is fairly competitive, they match up to 3% of the 401k plan, and 18 days PTO Management- This can vary a lot by team and region but I've been here 3 years and in two different roles and all my managers have been fantastic. They seem to genuinely care about their teams and work hard to promote internally whenever possible. Work/Life balance- Again, this probably varies quite a bit by region and branch. However, I work in Silicon Valley where work /life balance in most companies is non-existent and in my experience this is something Adecco does well. When employees have personal situations that require flexibility (small children, sick family members, long commutes, etc) they have worked hard to accommodate them.

Cons

Salary- Pay is below market and it's caused some of their best employees to leave. This puts a strain on current employees who are then left with added responsibility while new hires are trained. It also makes it hard for Adecco to recruit experienced employees, so a lot of the employees are the branch level are brand new to staffing.

Pros

Excellent pay for the time you're working for them.

Cons

When they decide to "Let you go" they contact you after your work shift and they advise you that your contract has been terminated immediately.

Pros

The branch manager at the downtown Chicago location was great Once you apply for a position they contact you fairly quick

Cons

Recruiters are inexperienced 14 year old girls and have less experience than the people they are recruiting They lie about what times you have called in and may sometimes say you did not at all They lie to get themselves out of paying unemployment They have a lot of issues with paying their employees ( Had to talk to the manager a couple times to be able to receive my pay) Will pull you out of your assignment even if you are doing well, they do not care if you are #1. They were not involved with their employees like many other agencies, and when they did have meeting they were completely lost and did not know what they were talking about.
