Pros

The best reason would be if you could not get in anywhere else and needed money to eat.

Cons

They are paid more than 30% of the of the pay your job site employer pays to get you to do the work. They don't return calls from you. They picked only ONE health insurance plan which was the worst one that met Affordable Care Act so you couldn't get Federal subsidy even you had low wages and would qualify. There was NO 401-K match. Some of these reviews are recruiters for Adecco who have better benefit packages but the contingents are treated like slaves.

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.
