Reviews and Complaints

I called Adecco today to apply for a temp job in customer service. Although i have graduated in social work i needed a temp job until the right social work job came along! I was put through to a lady called Stephanie Pugh who has to be the most unhelpful agent i have come across to date. She would ask me a question about my experience and every time i tried to answer she would interrupt. I had forwarded my CV to her five minutes prior to call and accidently sent her my draft copy. The draft copy did not have dates of my recent employment. I apologised and told her i would send her the right one now. She replied it was too late and she would not be taking me on for any work? When i tried to explain she would not listen and was just eager to put the phone down. I can not believe how i was spoken to and ill be honest she has left me feeling really annoyed and angry. That is no way to treat people! This is the first time i have ever contacted Adecco and believe me it will be the last! I would advise all the rest of you not to bother either

My boss told me he reccommended me for 2 positions within the mill and both times Adecco said that I didn't have the experience, when in fact I had the experience and I had heard they didn't hire me for the position because of my age. I'm 51 and I'm quite capable of doing all the jobs within the mill. They are the worst company I've ever worked for and offer NO BENEFITS OR HOLIDAY PAY. What company doesn't offer some sort of incentive? This one offers none. I will be leaving soon, and would never reccommend them to anyone.

I was on an assignment through Adecco, and I complained that their client was extremely unprofessional in dealing with the temps that Adecco had sent to their company, including verbal and racial harassment.

I was surprised to find out that after the training had completed, I was not even given a chance to work on the production floor, and was given a total of three customer calls to prove myself, which was obviously a setup since the other temps were normally given one business day with numerous calls to prove their work ability in the call center.

Needless to say, the employer had informed Adecco that i had complained about their illegal behaviour and Adecco went along with the company since all they care about is money, and they treat their temps like units of labour, who are no longer useful if not generating revenue.

I was working with Adecco since April 2006 till April 2007 but since 2007 i have not received my P.F. till date. I have submitted the PF withdrawal forms to them nearly 4-5 times but everytime twice they lost my forms and then when they didn't find aany excuse, they said my form was filled incorrectly. I am now frustrated totally because for my own hard earned money i have to fight so much. Now i am proceedign ahead by hosing the Legal way. Anybody who wishes to join me is welcome.

Adecco UK places job vanacy's on Monster.co.uk even though the vanacy has been closed for over one week.

Also when you register with them, they don't bother informing you about any vanacy at all.

I worked as an Administrator within an Adecco branch and I could see how they treated the candidates let alone the actual staff who worked there I.E myself.

I was only at Adecco for just over 4 months when my contract had to be terminated due to cost and the recent recession and my manager called me in to tell me the bad news I was given 1 weeks notice and was allowed to leave to give me time to search for a new job (this was a favour promised by my manager)

Pay day came - I didnt get paid!

I have sent numerous emails and phone calls to HR and my manager who is lucky enough to be away on holiday for 3 weeks.

Adecco are money grabbing, horrible and selfish and don't care about there own staff let alone anyh agency workers. Dont work for them and don't register with them

I worked with Adecco on an assignment and was fired due to " inaccurate details on my background check* which when I checked with Lexxus Nexxus I had written everything correctly. Secondly, after being terminated I had some personal belongings that were at a Client job site. One of the staffing consultants that I had been working with advised me that he would go over to the client to retrieve my stuff. I was let go in October 2008. For 2 months I had been trying to contact him about my things, and he had not returned my calls. Being fed up, I tried to speak with his Supervisor and she started to get upset with me and stating "we can not treat our workplaces like our lockers." Are you kidding me? She then also did not even want to let me say a word, and seeing this I started to give her some attitude to show her that I was being serious and would not subject myself to their playing of games. That call did NO justice and now I just called the HR department at Adecco to complain. I spoke with a nice woman there who told me she was going to look into the situation, but couldnt promise me if my stuff was still there. I feel like this "staffing consultant" did this on purpose. I am highly upset and all I was requesting was just to get my stuff back. What is so hard about that? This agency is a total ripoff, not to mention on one assignment I was "let go" because they wanted to bring someone else in. So why have me report to work that day? So upset...dont waste your time on these people or they will scam and ram you!

I was a Staffing Consultant at Adecco in Phoenix, Arizona, for over a year and a half, and if you are looking for work, do not waste your time with this company!

Adecco abides by a "policy" of bringing as many applicants in as possible in order to meet weekly production goals. They have no intention of ever placing you! The management is horrible, and even worse, there is no policy regarding provision of "Customer Service". Most of the recruiters will not take your calls, return messages, and are not on your side, only their client's side. In addition, these same recruiters will make up lies by saying they have "no jobs available that match your skill set".

One of the worst examples I can provide is in regards to my boyfriend, who I placed on an assignment with Charles Schwab. I will call him John.

John worked for Charles Schwab for almost a year, but still had not been hired on permanently as Schwab was in the midst of a hiring freeze. To give you some background information, however, on July 16, 2008, I was fired for allegedly falsifying a PDF file. Everyone knows Adobe Acrobat was created to protect documents, so as you are aware, it is impossible to alter any information. Keep in mind, my Branch Manager at the time hated me, because I believed in "quality, not quantity", and did not want to bring applicants in to waste their time, etcetera. When she fired me, she refused to show me this supposed falsified document as well.

Back to my example, one week later, my boyfriend was arriving to work and his badge didn't work. At that moment he received a call from the Onsite at Schwab stating he had been fired from Adecco for poor quality of work. POOR QUALITY OF WORK!?! John was the team lead in his department, and was the only employee who had security access to various programs at Schwab. In addition, his manager had given him promotions as well! Half way through the day, John's manager at Schwab asked several employees why John had not shown up to work.

HE HAD NO IDEA ADECCO FIRED HIM, because John's manager had NOT REQUESTED his employment be terminated. ADECCO FIRED JOHN BECAUSE OF ME!

In short, stay FAR, FAR AWAY from Adecco!

I did a contract with them for West Sussex Police HQ in April 08 then tried to get paid for the job. I have sent many emails to the client and to Adecco, but no payment received for over two months. The stress the emails the time spent on trying to get any word or response out of this company, their customer relations, their respect with their client knowing these emails were sent to their client also, their staff are appalling. Still I get no response from any email address from any email found on their website worldwide.

I gave them warning that I would post details of them scamming contractors out of pay on the internet and I would flood google with my experience. After a couple of months a payment was given, but the wrong payment was given. I have sent many emails to Adecco world wide, directed at all their CEO's, to their press office and the customer relations, basically all email addresses I could find on the internet. I gave them a warning that I would post this on complaintsboard.com and it would damage the internet presence. I told them for the sake of £200 this was not worth it and it would be silly to not respond to me.

After many many emails and time spent, I have had no reply from any of my emails. I have told them I now do not want my payment, but would prefer to make it a mission to expose my experience with them on the internet.

I will refuse to work for them and let them get away with my money without letting everyone know that this is the worst agency I have ever dealt with in my over 12 years of contracting.
