Pros

Absolutely none this has been the worst experience I've had with a staffing company.

Cons

if I could give zero stars I would. I worked for them doing an event and they screwed up my check. They lied and told me I would have it Yesterday then they lied and said today by the end of business then back tracked at the end of the business day and said payroll said it would have it done in 24 hours. When I asked them why they lied to me they took no responsibility for there actions and blamed everything on payroll. I called them serveral times about my check today and they lied to me all day saying it would be done today. The manager lied and said I called and yelled at her staff all day which was false I had been very calm especially considering they are playing with my money. Then when I got upset for them lying to me all day the manager started yelling at me and hung up in my face terrible company I never want to work for them again I just want my money which it looks like I will have to call the state and get them involved because they keep lying to me.

Pros

Onboarding for new hires was smooth

Cons

My experience with Adecco Staffing Agency reflects a significant disconnect between the expectations set during onboarding and the reality of assignment execution. There appears to be a consistent misalignment between candidate skill sets and the roles they are placed into, which not only undermines performance but also creates unnecessary inefficiencies for both the employee and the client organization. Assignments are often presented without full transparency regarding scope, schedule, or operational requirements, resulting in frequent adjustments that disrupt workflow continuity and personal planning. Additionally, there is a notable deficiency in accurate and timely reporting. Communication regarding assignment details, schedule changes, and performance expectations lacks consistency and clarity. This creates ambiguity in accountability and limits the employee’s ability to effectively manage deliverables. From a process standpoint, this reflects weak coordination and insufficient control mechanisms within their staffing and reporting systems. Most concerning is the apparent lack of advocacy for the employee. A staffing agency should function as an intermediary that ensures alignment between employer needs and employee capabilities while also safeguarding fair treatment and clear communication. In this case, there is a perception that employee concerns—particularly those related to schedule changes, workload expectations, and workplace conditions—are not adequately addressed or escalated. This ultimately results in a work environment that feels transactional rather than supportive, with limited consideration for employee well-being or long-term success.
