Pros

Health insurance is offered by Adecco, taking a temp position at Google offers an opportunity to "get your foot in the door", Adecco is responsive to questions about insurance, sick days, etc. when they come up, TVCs get access to free food and snacks onsite at Google and very cheap GBUS rides

Cons

Adecco takes a large share of the contract payment for your onsite contract at Google, contract negotiation is difficult (or impossible?), healthcare is offered, but very expensive, (virtually) no PTO, only 3 days of sick leave per year, no 401k or other benefits offered, the promise of "getting your foot in the door" at Google does not guarantee conversion to full time employment at Google (in some cases, coming on as a TVC makes it harder), often TVCs work on more than what their contract states, but because of legal concern about co-employment liability, Googlers take credit for TVC work, working on-site at Google does not include many benefits afforded to Google employees (team off-sites, Grow classes, healthcare, retirement benefits, etc)

Pros

None. A few good people work here, but everyone is just a number to the corporation.

Cons

This could be a long list. From day one, I knew accepting this position was a mistake. I was an afterthought on my first day. I checked in, and they threw together a desk. When I looked in the drawers, it looked like someone was fired the Friday before, and I inherited the desk. Tools and technology are antiquated. Most of the staff is not professional, and some of the HR issues that popped up are unlike anything I have ever experienced. I will not give specific examples, but I will say that if I had known about even one of them, I would not have thought about interviewing. The clients can treat the Addeco staff however they like, which is fine. They can be abusive, scream and yell, blame the onsite personnel for issues that are in no way a result of staffing, and bonuses are never realized since the client can make up reasons to ask for credits, and as long as there is revenue, Adeco is happy. Long-term clients go through Adecco's internal staff like a revolving door, and their treatment toward the onsite is reprehensible.

Pros

We had a great office dynamic which is especially hard in the Recruiting world. Benefits were not bad but being that they are the worlds largest staffing agency they could have been better.

Cons

I worked for this company almost 15 years and while I was headed to a work site I was hit and rushed to the emergency department. Not only did I not receive a call from upper management, they denied workman's compensation and to top it off they asked for me to resign!!!! I gave this company my all and I do not regret it and would do it again because that is my work ethic. To this day I am very disheartened that I was treated like this. Absolutely no work life balance. Career opportunity's were given to the "in crowd" luckily I was in. Pay is not within line at all.
