I've only been working with Adecco for 7 months, have been paid for holidays, been paid on time weekly, and not only that, I'm getting hired by the company that I'm working at.

Guess people still love to stereotype.

curious, do they charge any fees for locating this position for you?

There were no fees at all.

Most of the complaints in this section seems true but then again, I have my own personal experience with them and they were great to me so it just came off as a bit weird.

Yikes. I've been with Adecco for less than a year, but too long to give them any more shots. I work with a major company, yet I am bothered daily at how much I dislike being an Adecco employee. I needed a job fast. I would have definitely taken the time to become a direct hire if I didn't NEED the job - ANYWHERE! Of course, hindsight is always 20/20.

I have already complained to upper management about the difficulties I have had with benefits, management, pay(or lack thereof), even down to their EMAIL doesn't seem to work right, but it doesn't seem like anything has or will ever be done about any of my issues. You are another # to them. Another Bill Rate -Pay Rate = Profit. So depressing, so deflating.

Daily life as an employee isn't all that bad, but the big picture really blows. The benefits are atrocious and the pay is far below what I am worth. Due to my education and background in HR, this situation makes it all even worse.

Needless to say I am looking for a new position.

At all costs, look for a direct hire position.

Adecco is poor in the extreme.. temp agencies can be beneficial but the exception is with Adecco.
My Canadian experience.
I was recently let go from Adecco because I was "unhappy with my job", yeah.. so a legal matter with be followed.. anyways.. I was working with a company to build electronics that contracted Adecco to find them builders. I was there a few months.. everyone of the buiders hates Adecco, they lied to us about raises, missed paying for holidays, they underpay us and get this, Adecco specifically doesn't allow this electronics company to hire us directly... get that!
So if we want to build, we have to be employed by Adecco forever!
In the beginning there was 31, then down to 20, Adecco said then that there weren't going to be any more layoffs, then more cuts were made, then down to 12, and finally me, down to 11. Right now about 90 percent of the Adecco employed people there are currently looking for other work, and they all said that they would never work with Adecco again.
