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."

Pros

This has been a great learning experiencing for me and given me the chance to immerse myself in many different roles. This position will definitely never be boring, there is something new going on every day. You get the opportunity to meet and work with many different people from many different walks of life.

Cons

One of the downsides to this position is that our pay rate really does not fit all of the work that this position requires. We are constantly taking on new roles and new challenges with this job, but the work is really not rewarded financially.

Pros

I actually work as a Recruiter for Adecco - as a contract employee. Great pay, hours, lunch break, perks, own cube.... fun place to be!

Cons

Contract employees can be removed at anytime.
