Adecco Salaries, Bonuses and Benefits.

What are the average starting salaries, bonuses, benefits and travel requirements like at Adecco?

What do you like best about working at Adecco? Are there any great perks or special treats for employees?

ADDECCO is the ABSOLUTE WORST when it comes to BONUSES, and BENEFITS. Do not trust them when they tell you about them when you go to sign up. They put it in such a way that they hide the fact that both are almost impossible to get.

To get a WEEKS PAY worh of BONUS for ADDRECKO you must work 1800 Hours in a Calender Year. (January-January) Doing the math that means that you have to work 34.6 Hours every week for 52 Straight Weeks which is almost impossible since many companies close for at least 11 Holidays, Holiday early closings, and closing for inclement weather. You just ca't do it. Its the same wityh their HYPE of Paid Holidays. You need to work 850 Hours Consecutively before getting a paid holiday. It can't be done because of days Companies Close. This place is just a mess. Stay away from ADDECCO for any LONG TERM ASSINGMENTS unless you want to be treated like an employee without ANY BENEFITS

Your right, Adecco is the worst. They promise bonus that will never happen.

I got a letter in the mail yesterday from Adecoo stating how great their benefits are. They then proceeded to announce that I will need to put in more hours for less holiday pay.

They also say that they offer affordable health insurance for $1,656 per month!

The truth is they offer little to no benefits. I've been permatemping with them for almost 4 years. This country needs less temporary employment agencies and more "real" jobs. We need the Employee Free Choise Act:

I worked for a couple of companies thru Adecco I did get a bonus last December. But I didnt even know about it. I saw a deposit in my bank statement and after searching to find out where it came from I found out it was from Adecco. Would have been nice if they send me an email thanking me for my good work or whatever.

Also, when I started with Adecco, it was for a 1 year contract at a very well know high tech company at $26.00 hour. After a year because of their policy I had to leave. Then Adecco found me a 6 month job filling in for someone on maternity leave at another well know high tech company at the rate of $26.00 hour.

When that assignment was done Adecco said there was another 1 year assignment at the first company I worked at if I was interested. The pay......$26.00 an hour. I need a raise!!!

Unfortunately, I am very unhappy with Adecco now. Maybe not Adecco, but the recruiter I worked with at the onsite company that I would LOVE to go back to but I feel he is black balling me know.

When my contract was to end this last Feb 5th, I was ready to leave. The week before already let everyone know in my dept so if they had any work for me to give it to me that week. My last day the EA in that dept said why are you all packed. I said today is my last day. She said Oh, didnt (no name) tell you they extended your contract one month? No I said but thats good.

I continuted to work one month which in the meantime I found out thats all the budget they had and could give me.

By the end of Feb doing the same thing getting ready to leave, the EA again said, Oh, didnt (no name) tell you he extedned 2 more weeks. I asked her why just two weeks. She said she wanted to take some PTO time. I was a little p***** at this and said no he didnt tell me and I already have plans for next weeks so cant do it.

Anyway, sorry this is sooo long. When I applied for unemployment they said Adecco said I walked out on my contract before it ended.

I have worked as a contact employee for the technical branch of Adecco, at a well known company in the midwest, for the last 7 years. All in all my experiences with Adecco as a company have not been that bad, but they could do a hell of a lot more for us as a whole.

When I started, we would get one bonus check (equal to what we made each week) when the year anniversary came around. I never had a problem getting this from them. Within the last year they changed this to make you have to have 1800 hours in order to get the bonus, which now has changed from a 40 hour week of pay, to something like 3% of your total yearly pay, which is about 3/4 of what we got before for a bonus. For a lot of others at the office this 1800 hours thing is almost impossible, because for illness and vacations..I was able to qualify because I don't get sick much, and don't take vacations. Still this is a complete crock.

I've always been able to get holiday pay from them, although the company I work at usually takes an additional day off at most holidays, and Adecco will only pay for one day, which leaves us missing 8 hours of pay. This is stupid as well.

They really need to include some kind of sick pay as well. They don't seem to realize that we get sick and cannot work sometimes. I remember being sick as hell a few times, and still having to work. Not good.

They should have to give us at least 1 week of real vacation time a year, that we don't have to fight for, and can take any time we want to.

Don't even get me started on their scam benefits. Unaffordable at our wages and they cover almost nothing. I don't think anyone in our group even signs up for them. I think they have to offer them to fulfill some kind of government requirement.

Also, I've been in this position for 7 year...Shouldn't the client company I work at be forced to hire after a certain amount of time? This is something the government need to regulate.

im put off for finding work with Addecco
