Pros

It's a very large company so they do have the infrastructure in place to withstand tough economic changes.

Cons

The branch I was in was in had poor leadership. Because base salaries are fairly low, they mostly hire people with little or no experience so they don't have an understanding of the candidates that they're recruiting or the client's needs. They let the branch managers have a lot of control so it can be quite personal and if you don't go along with everything they say then you can be ostracized. Not a very professional environment. It's hard to fill more complicated positions when you don't have good recruiters. They don't train the recruiters to research so they just rely on job boards for everything.

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

You get to work for the #1 Staffing Agency in the world. There is definitely a lot more freedom to do what you want to do as long as your making placements.

Cons

There is no database of candidates, they won't spend money on any resources to help recruiters. They are limiting any spending period (whether its taking candidates or clients to lunch). There is no help from management and we compete against companies that we own (Ajilon).
