Repetitive work but flexible

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
Opportunity to work from home. Started working in an office but transitioned to home working. Easy interview. Good place to develop your customer service skills.

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

The pay was low compared to other companies who were contracted to complete the same job. job was fine depending on your line manager. Some of the line managers were like dictators.

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.

Very nice workplace

Addeco is one of the best workplaces that I have ever worked for as a estalarder because it gives you gifts after every six months , holiday and annual bunus.i recommended that company

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.

Great company to work for

Good working environment, stress-free and great managers and colleagues. They value cultural diversity and it shows in almost every department. Highly recommend them.

good team, unrealistic expectations

team was lovely, manager was more like a friend however the KPIs were unrealistic especially during covid, alot of people came across very unprofessional during social events, but overall could be worse

fun to work

ProsGood Leadership Gender equality Respect for all faiths Huge support for following your aspirationsConsYou are on your own to find work for yourself, less support from HR or management. If you are in consulting area expect no life. lobby or biased environment is visible sometime You can be made scapegoat if you don’t have proper support by your managementAdvice to ManagementTrue Leadership gives credit to team and takes accountability for failures.

Simply the best

I've worked on and off for Adecco for nearly 10 years. They make you feel like you are not just a number and always go out of their way to get you great employment assignments. I've tried others but I always come back to Adecco.

We value all feedback so this is much appreciated and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Workplace culture nonexistent

They expect loyalty and availability, but don't offer regular work in return. Poorly managed, rife with favouritism. If you are friends with supervisor you will get plenty of work, even if you're useless, if you're not you will get cancellations for no reason. Hard-working, valuable people often get overlooked and even penalised for the benefit of workers that have relationships that are inappropriate at work.

Pros

None

Cons

All of the above

Temp Work via Adecco

The staff are friendly although how they treat isn’t the case😡

Was working for Adecco for only a week with scope. I had a safeguarding course the week after and I said 2 words which led to dismissal which came without warning. I feel as it was just an excuse to get rid of me. Would not recommend to anyone😡

Pros

Hour lunch

Cons

Unfair to staff/colleagues

Excellent support for associates

No issues with adecco and my assignments, support is there whenever i need it, upon end of assignment another offered straight away. The only pain is timesheets take ages to fill in
