Pros

- Commission was quiet good - Big name so good for selling to clients - Loved the team I worked with - Some great senior management who were very supportive

Cons

- Preach about LGBTQ but during my time my old manager would not put trans people forward for a job as he said ' you can't put that in front of clients'. I also heard one of the consultants call someone the n-word. This person still works for the business. Its when I decided to move on from the business. It puts a bitter taste in my mouth when I see the business preaching BLM and LGBTQ on social when I have had these experiences. I wish I had spoken up but I was so young and naive at the time. - Really it was the people that ruined it for me, my old manager lied to us about an award we worked so hard to get. Also would take credit for works from the team.

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.
