Decent for the money

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
Just a call centre job dealing with mostly angry stressed out people. The work environment itself was nice and relaxed and the pay was above minimum wage, only downside was the customers

Unsociable hours

I worked on a zero hour contract, and used to work between train stations. It was all right when I was at my local station, but there could be some pretty awful abuse from customers. Thankfully, when I worked with the local managers, they were always helpful. However I didn't hear much from my managers at adecco unless they were organising shifts. The shifts were long, and could be difficult to juggle other commitments with. You were expected to travel to other stations, which could mean that if you had a shorter shift then you would travel an equal amount to the time you'd be working. The good news is, you didn't have to pay for your journey to work if you had to go to another station.

Pros

Free train journeys to work Pay was all right

Cons

Long, unsociable hours or short shifts that weren't worth the journey.

Not too stressful

Enjoyed working at Adecco UK LTD, although their pay was quite normal thats minimum wage compared to the work done. Any increase in the pay would be good.

It's a fun place to be with adequate support/training

The company offers temporary role depending on the campaign the company they are recruiting for has.Staff are adequately supported, no too much benefit

Cons

Often temporary roles

terrible

just dont care about their staff at all, everyone is expendable and they take forever to process even simple requests. They have a habit of ignoring issues that are complex and passing it about to other staff who do the same.

Fun work place

I worked with Adecco in the 90s in the UK, that is why you find it on my CV. I enjoyed working with them. I was a casual worker due to working around the family and kids. They treated me well.

Universal credit helpline

So stressful cannot help the worst off people! It gets too emotional! Taking bread from the poor in my eyes there is nothing you can do even if you know something is wrong you cannot deal with things everything is passed through to someone else and whether it gets dealt with or not is another thing!

Collaborative and supportive

The Adecco team is always easy to approach from every aspect. Very prompt on replaying to all my queries and very supportive. The assignment given to me was with a top financial service company, great work environment, great people to work with.Definitely I will be using Adecco service if I will even need that in the future.

Amazon doesn't care about you

Amazon is an awful workplace, I'm sure you already knew that.Sent home without pay if there are already enough people in.I had my start time moved from quite early to graveyard hours without a pay increase.There is free coffee sometimes.They only do things because of money, people's wellbeing is not accouted for unless they have to.

Pros

Free coffee sometimes, You can get away with allot, including falling asleep if u know how, Sometimes sent home a couple hours early with pay

Cons

Treated more like a number than a person, Zero hours contract, No job security, Awful work environment, Awful hours, Awful pay

Pros

Good pay

Awful leadership!

The leadership team are more bothered about sleeping with each other than working. There are clear favourites within the company, and working hard isn’t enough!

Cons

Long hours, terrible leadership, fake people
