Adecco Management reviews

Treated like dogs. Safety boots that dig into your feet and make the shift seem like an eternity. Micro management. Always have eyes on you. Tedious monotonous work

Positive Work Environment: The workplace provided a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere.

The company was open to employees taking on new challenges and responsibilities.Company Culture: The company had a positive and inclusive company culture that fostered teamwork and encouraged employees to share ideas and feedback.Workplace Amenities: The office had good facilities and amenities that made the work environment comfortable and convenient.Cons:Long Hours: One of the challenges I faced in this role was the long working hours. It often required extra time and effort to meet deadlines and complete tasks.Lack of Time Management Tools: There was a noticeable absence of effective time management tools or systems, which made it difficult to track and manage workload efficiently.Break Management: The management of breaks was not ideal. There were instances where it was challenging to take adequate breaks or find a suitable time to relax during the workday.Compensation: The compensation package was not competitive compared to industry standards. It did not adequately reflect the level of commitment and effort required for the role.

The agency is soo bad. Holidays are a joke. No one helps they hire you but it takes months. They dont pay you correctly and then dont correctly the pay when theyve paid you wrong. AVOID

Avoid at all costs!

Customer Service Assistant (Former Employee) - South Western Railway - 8 August 2023

Signed up to them as the agency I previously worked for lost the contract at my location to them.We were promised the same hourly rate and that didn't happen with a loss of £2 per hour. We were expected to travel to locations that were unachievable within minimum rest requirements or without a hotel at short notice on minimum wage. You can't claim it back.Breaks were 20 minutes including the time you took to walk to rest area, thankfully the management at the locations tended to let you take longer breaks in line with their companies rules.Training was provided by other agency staff, so it's easy to trained completely wrong.This is just what I saw.

Pros

None

Cons

The company

Not bad

Recruitment Consultant (Former Employee) - Norfolk - 20 June 2023

Generally they treat you well but pay you very poorly in comparison to similar level roles at other companies. They could improve on their staff development programs too as they were also few and far between

Administrator (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 5 April 2023

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.

Stressful and worst managers

Engagement coordinator (Former Employee) - Whitefield - 28 March 2023

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

None

Cons

All of the above
