Pros

Working from home was great! The salary is reasonable. This company was once an excellent place to work, but that has changed. I have resigned, and the only advantage I can genuinely mention is the ability to work remotely. I regret having to leave, and I wish I didn’t have to write this review, but I feel compelled to warn other job seekers about Adecco. I dedicated four years to this company, but it no longer meets my expectations.

Cons

There is favoritism, as one specific team consistently receives the best job requisitions, and there is nepotism, such as a mother managing her own daughter. This situation has led to a mass exodus of employees since we don't feel job security when as a recruiter you don't have much to work on and are expected to meet certain numbers. Yet there seems to be little concern from the management. I have reached out to HR regarding the ongoing issues and the status of last year’s commission payments, but they have no answers. It feels like no one here genuinely cares about the employees.

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.
