Pros

Aggressive and fair commission scale. Hard workers with good sales and good markups are rewarded for their efforts. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Micromanagement. The company has become involved in day to day operations of individual employees instead of allowing them to work independently. The new COO of our division has implemented a top-down fear as a motivator approach. The company benefits are pitiful. High cost for little coverage. Many employees opt-out of employer coverage for personal coverage or coverage from a spouse's employer.

Pros

Lots of assignments and weekly pay.

Cons

Low wages, lots of assignments that only an illegal would accept, They, in my opinion, never lived up to there mission statement. "Matching your job preferences and skill level with our clients' needs" (quote from their employee handbook). I found the statement to be less than withstanding.

Pros

Benefits- medical and dental is fairly competitive, they match up to 3% of the 401k plan, and 18 days PTO Management- This can vary a lot by team and region but I've been here 3 years and in two different roles and all my managers have been fantastic. They seem to genuinely care about their teams and work hard to promote internally whenever possible. Work/Life balance- Again, this probably varies quite a bit by region and branch. However, I work in Silicon Valley where work /life balance in most companies is non-existent and in my experience this is something Adecco does well. When employees have personal situations that require flexibility (small children, sick family members, long commutes, etc) they have worked hard to accommodate them.

Cons

Salary- Pay is below market and it's caused some of their best employees to leave. This puts a strain on current employees who are then left with added responsibility while new hires are trained. It also makes it hard for Adecco to recruit experienced employees, so a lot of the employees are the branch level are brand new to staffing.
