Pros

Availablity of resources--due to the size of the company there are more resources than normal. Training is always available at the corporate office and there are many opportunities for networking with other Adecco branches.

Cons

On the flip side, sometimes it is a detriment working for a large company. Lots of red tape if you want to do something different, something that may work better, but not necessarily as it is written in the "manual".

Pros

This is my third assignment with Adecco, as I am in NC now. When I made my initial call to Adecco, they were very interested and excited to help me find work. Also, while working in NJ several years ago with Adecco they were very interested in me finding the best employer to suit my experiences and character and worked hard to offer those types of assignments to be without hesitation. In fact, there were two offices who were almost fighting over me working for them. One thing I can say about Adecco is that they will try hard to find an assignment for you.

Cons

While working in NJ with Adecco, I was one of the most sought after Admins. But even though I was sought after, I was not given any type of bonus, recognition or an increase in pay for my hard work from anyone within any of the Adecco staffing offices. Working with the staff in the Adecco office was always a pleasure and they did their best to make sure I was compensated for the assignments that lasted longer than anticipated, but I was never given any type of recognition for my hard work and for going beyond the call of duty with working extra long hours and my encounter with Managers who were extremely hard to work for and who no one else wanted to work for. Also, no vacation pay was given, but only small bonus after you worked a total of 1800 hours which was calculated and and based on only a regular 40 hour week and not the entire hours that were worked within any given week. If you did not work a total of 1800 (regular hours within a given year) you did not get any type of bonus and the cycle would start all over at the beginning of each year. To me this is obvioiusly slave work for Adecco employees, as we don't get any type of vacation pay at all. When working with other agencies, i.e., Randstadt, Kelly Services, etc. they do offering some type of vacation pay to their employees. Also, Adecco's medical insurance plan is a total joke and should be revamped without hesitation. The insurance plan only allows you to receive $250.00 worth of medical coverage and then everything else is out of pocket.

Pros

They are the Largest Staffing Agency in the World. The people who work there at the staff level are usually great people to work with.

Cons

Zero training aside from the a basic training of 3 days and a additional 3 day HIT training. You are set up to fail with no support from management. Directors have never ran a Direct Hire desk before. I found this out by another recruiter who left the company. They were managers of Temp offices but not perm. You are on an island to bring in your own business. There is no cross selling between business units. I worked there for a couple of years and never received a job order flipped to me from the temp side or got an order from a corporate account. Their benefits are embarassing! For a $29 billion dollar company its sad!
