Avoid working for Adecco Corporate

Enjoyed the job role as worked directly for Adecco themselves. Learned a lot and worked hard but when my department got cut there was no support. Also no career development opportunities.

Pros

Team Leaders are okay

Cons

Lack of career development and terrible HR

Cons

Zero cons

No guarantee for shifts

The pay you get is good but no guarantee for shifts or for job. Working atmosphere is good. People are good. But you maybe suddenly told that you have no shifts tomorrow. Overtime and holiday pay is good.

Term of the outside of the box not knowing ;(

Looking for an opportunity in your special circumstances.You are definitely in the wrong place. I have not realised any differences between chatting with CAS or their live agent.

I wouldn't recommend

Have been contracting with Adecco for over a year now and if i could give a zero score i would. The worst agency I have had to deal with, incompetent, poor communicators, inflexible. Absolutely hopeless.

Very poor place to work

Agencies have a 0 hour contract and get paid less which is very unfair as to permanent workers gets more when they work a 48 hours a week. Us agency employees do all the hard work and should get paid more than the permanent workers, all they do is stand around and fix a machine whilst we do all the handling and rotating. Permanent workers also thinks it’s okay to take longer breaks ! And co ordinators have favourites and choose which agency people should get more work.

Stressful and worst managers

No respect for employees even though working over time for 2 to 3 hours every day. Managers overload employees with work and expect employees to work overtime every day and do not care about employees.

Pros

Insurance benefits

Cons

Stressful work and holistic work environment

Administrative flaws

I regret working with this agency, professionalism fall below zero, their team at the location was so poor that their information dissemination was so porous, their administration team need total overhauling. I will never recommend my enemy to work for this location.

Good hours

Accommodating with the hours they provide although pay could have been higher and jobs more varied. Also had some good opportunities to move into permanent positions.

Nah

Night shifts were hard to get to and from work. Managers on the shop floor micromanage and the break times were short. Depending on who was responsible for that day, you could be working for 6 hours straight with no break.

Easy job

Overall good environment to work in as you are compensated for overtime by shortening the next day's schedule. Didn't had a proper team to work with though.

Disappointing experience

I was so excited to work as a recruitment consultant, but the cliquey environment, low basic salary and micromanagement made the experience a less pleasant one than I had hoped for.

Worst place I’ve ever worked

High pressure targets with no support. Essentially told to lie to potential candidates about there being a job prospect for them just do you can interview them and hit your KPIs. Disgraceful company.
