Pros

You get paid every week

Cons

They treat you like the scum of the earth. You’re never good enough and they can find reasons for everything you’re doing wrong but never saying anything motivating or telling people they’re doing a great job. I don’t know how these higher ups sleep at night. HR has a foul and horrible additude and talks to employees with no human respect. It’s equivalent to being a prisoner

Pros

Absolutely none this has been the worst experience I've had with a staffing company.

Cons

if I could give zero stars I would. I worked for them doing an event and they screwed up my check. They lied and told me I would have it Yesterday then they lied and said today by the end of business then back tracked at the end of the business day and said payroll said it would have it done in 24 hours. When I asked them why they lied to me they took no responsibility for there actions and blamed everything on payroll. I called them serveral times about my check today and they lied to me all day saying it would be done today. The manager lied and said I called and yelled at her staff all day which was false I had been very calm especially considering they are playing with my money. Then when I got upset for them lying to me all day the manager started yelling at me and hung up in my face terrible company I never want to work for them again I just want my money which it looks like I will have to call the state and get them involved because they keep lying to me.

Pros

I loved my job when I first started and I loved my branch manager. It was a really great place to work and I was motivated to go after promotions. My efforts were 100% recognized and rewarded.

Cons

Once the divisional leadership changed in 2014, the company moral and ethics changed with it. Our schedules were changed so we would sometimes work evenings or weekend hours, but always overtime - without the additional pay because we were exempt salary. Every time a recruiter left, they never replaced them so the workload was piled on top of the remaining recruiters. We were drowning in administrative work but scolded for not filling orders and having enough appointments scheduled. I worked from home every single night so that my orders wouldn't get escalated to divisional leadership. It got so bad that I alone was handling over 100+ orders at one time and had no work-life balance. The company goals for recruiters did not coincide with our clients' expectations. Our associate payroll always screwed up as well - constant issues with our associates getting paid. We'd direct them to call payroll but when they did, they'd get 5 different answers so we'd always be the ones wasting our time solving payroll issues because they couldn't get it together rather than doing our job and filling our orders. PTO was great! But when you took it, you'd have to work OT when you got back because nobody was able to watch your accounts so it was pointless to take it and all you did was put out fires for the next month.

Nobody can be expected to succeed with the workload you've described, so it's certainly an issue to be escalated. We're rolling out many systems that will aid in the busy-work, but we'd like to know more about your experience and those involved. Please email "socialfeedback@adeccona.com."
