Working at Adecco: Culture

Online detached convenient dystopia. Faceless processing. Better than being unemployed.

Administrative Investigative Support Officer (Former Employee) - Dorset Police - 31 October 2023

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed

What is the best part of working at the company?They’re helpful once you learn the routine of logging in your hours.They are nice to you as you slowly realise that they are getting some of your pay and that you can be let go on the day without HR or grievance rights. You are there at a job to not be a part of the company whilst getting less pay.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?You don’t belong there and you don’t get the right pay. As agency you are an extra supplicant until you are not needed. You are earning enough to pay rent and buy food for the week. You are wasting your life or year if you wish to progress. Perhaps get your foot in the company you are sent to and apply for a job internally. Quit after 8 months if you get no further.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?There is no culture as it’s an email lifestyle and occasional pleasant phone call.What is a typical day like for you at the company?I would go to Dorset Police and then email the Adecco website with my hours. The police have less accountants to hire and less HR to employ.
