Pros

Working from home was great! The salary is reasonable. This company was once an excellent place to work, but that has changed. I have resigned, and the only advantage I can genuinely mention is the ability to work remotely. I regret having to leave, and I wish I didn’t have to write this review, but I feel compelled to warn other job seekers about Adecco. I dedicated four years to this company, but it no longer meets my expectations.

Cons

There is favoritism, as one specific team consistently receives the best job requisitions, and there is nepotism, such as a mother managing her own daughter. This situation has led to a mass exodus of employees since we don't feel job security when as a recruiter you don't have much to work on and are expected to meet certain numbers. Yet there seems to be little concern from the management. I have reached out to HR regarding the ongoing issues and the status of last year’s commission payments, but they have no answers. It feels like no one here genuinely cares about the employees.

Company doesn't seem to have a clear direction

Pros

Good accounts and recruiters who care

Cons

Company is constantly laying off their internal staff. It doesn't matter if you've been there 1 year or 20 years. They can't seem to come up with a clear strategy and carry it out. They scream pivot more than Ross from Friends!

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

This company will throw you to the wolves and if you don't figure it out within a few weeks, you'll be fired. Also, the level of micromanagement was bewildering. I was required to take notes (my own personal notes that nobody else needed) in certain fonts and colors. Had to color code my spreadsheets a certain way, again for something that was not used by anyone else on the team. And try asking for advice, forget about it.
