worked under this dreadful agency for 3 and half weeks.Never had so many problems in all the 7 years I've been contracting.took them 3 weeks to set me up on there payroll. I have since found another contract (thank god) through a genuine agency and was set up wihin 3 days.i'm now in that role and still waiting to be paid what im owed.AVOID AT ALL COSTS

In my office, about 5 or 6 people are contractors from Adecco (sadly I'm one of them) and we seem to have a continuous problem with payment. One of us didn't receive a whole week's payment for no reason last month. That's just one example.In my case, my hourly pay rate for accrued holidays seems to be getting smaller and smaller. I know they calculate a holiday rate in a special way but the way it decreased doesn't seem logical. I did query but never been given any clear answer to that. I feel I was robbed.In my experience, most employment agencies are borderline crooks and I have met worse. However, they are a pain nonetheless and I do not wish to work from them again in future.

First their were issues with our checks and the entire department- because ETS just uses temps for years at a time instead of hiring them- did not get paid for about 3 weeks.

I signed up for over 10 agencies of which Adecco was one and turned out to be by far the best of the lot. They were very friendly on the phone and when I went down to sign my papers they were extremely helpful. They wasted no time in trying to find me some work and within 3 days found me a role with the police on a 4 month temporary basis. They sorted all the paperwork out, gave me sufficient details and even helped me get crb checked. They paid me weekly, every Friday. The money when into my bank and they sent me a wage ...  Read the complete review

I'm really frustrated with Adecco right now. I applied to an office job at about 8am one morning, and got a call from Adecco within about 2 hours - it was my first dealing with them. They had me fill out some online tests and set up an interview for the next day. The interview itself was frustrating, as it seemed like they had a checklist of questions to ask and didn't care about the answers at all. I think I could have answered in latin and the woman would have just said "okay" "yes" "great" "ahuh" "good" to each answer. I figured my expectations were just too high. So, I took the in-house computer training session  Read the complete review
