Pros

There is room for growth and your manager will map out how to get there and steps needed to take to get there. My manager was hands down the best manager I have ever had the pleasure of working with and was the reason I stayed for as long as I did. Great health benefits, 19 days PTO when you start out, 401K, stock options, managers are willing to work with your schedules.

Cons

The directors and VP's say they care about the colleagues but their actions speak very differently! No holiday parties, no annual increases, low pay for the work you are expected to do, you have to bend over backwards to get your settlement fees, the candidates you work with are one of a kind (not in a good way).

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.
