Front Line Worker (Current Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 17 July 2018
Work with Adecco was one of my toughest experiences.
The labour was not too difficult although there was much lifting to be done and the employees had poor communication with eachother.

Horrible!
Food and Beverage Associate (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 11 July 2018
when I worked for adecco for Cirque Du Soleil . When I had the interview I specifically told Them I'm special needs. That I cannot work with money. On the second shift they put me on cash management never told the supervisers that I cant work with money. I told the supervisors I cannot work witth money . And that Runner is a better job for me . They said I cant work here then . Which I find very unprofessional. A few weeks later one of the managers called me. Asked for feedback ignored what I had to say. Was saying what she wanted hear. I dont recommend working here. This is the last place I would want to work at. Ive worked at better places.!
Pros
No Pros
Cons
Horrible with people who are special needs.
Great work environment for a job during univeristy
Security Clearance Specialist (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 8 July 2018
Working at Adecco was a great opportunity for a preview into the professional world while still completing my undergrad. The staff were clear regarding their expectations of me, and were wonderful at ensuring that I was fully trained and comfortable with my responsibilities. My staff members were friendly and helpful, contributing to the positive work environment. This company firmly believes in consistent, hard work - which contributes to a more efficient workplace with achievable high expectations of their employees.
Pros
Great Training, Enjoyable Workplace.
Excellente agence de placement
ADJOINTE EXÉCUTIVE (Former Employee) – Joliette, QC – 27 June 2018
Agence de placement qui a à coeur la satisfaction des candidats : suivis réguliers sur conditions de travail; bonne négociation des conditions salariales avec les employeurs, bons contacts, etc.
Pros
Bon service clientèle
Pretty bad training
General Labourer: putaway and processor (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 20 June 2018
I got a lot of injuries and no one really cared. The hours were too long and very hard labor. This should be regarded next time. Also, some workers have other jobs in their lives and not everyone can sacrifice their hands for box cutting and heavy lifting.
Pros
free coffee
Cons
dirty unsafe environment
Hard, but boring work.
General Labourer (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 18 June 2018
The work was fairly hard, but the people were all nice, including management. The work was extremely boring but they were honest about it. I enjoyed my time working for the company, they paid on time every week and had a bonus incentive program I liked.
Pros
Decent pay.
Cons
Warehouse was not climate controlled so it was hot in the summer.
Not a bad plce

Worst Organization Ever
Field Sales Representative - Halifax Nova Scotia (Former Employee) – Halifax, NS – 4 May 2018
I am not one to complain about companies publically but stay away. They will lie, cheat and steal from you then throw employees under the bus. They treat employees like garbage.
Achieved success
Accounting Consultant (Current Employee) – Regina, SK – 4 May 2018
- Learned to manage people effectively
- supportive management
- the organization values employee safety and development
- every job has its hardest part but with this job, the hardest part of the job was controllable and prepare me for more challenging position
- work independently without having someone to supervise your work often and the recognition.

Not overly happy
Bell Aliant Commercial Sales (Former Employee) – Fredericton, NB – 30 April 2018
Beholden to the agencies that hire them, and not the welfare of their contract employees. There is little in the way of job security and the investment of time and energy may not be commiserate with the financial compensation on average.
Unprofessional Work Environment
Recruitment Consultant (Former Employee) – Halifax, NS – 18 April 2018
Management was very unprofessional & unethical. Terrible work place culture, little to no training/support for new hires. Employees are overworked and disrespected. No opportunities for advancement.
Pros
Base Salary was fair and indoor parking was available
Cons
Terrible Management/Work Environment
Awesome customer service
Territory Account Manager (Former Employee) – Moncton, NB – 13 April 2018
Adecco was a great company to work for and they cared about there employees. They gave top notch and up to date information about the company they were going to contract you to. I worked in the field as a door to door territory manager for a telecommunication company.
Pros
sales comminisions were awesone
Cons
The company I was contracted to
Provides flexible schedule
Post Canada Contractor (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 13 April 2018
As a contractor, the work schedule is very flexible. This is a good and bad thing, as when you are working you have more time for yourself, however may not have a job for the day and will not be paid in full.
The other employees are hard workers and get along well with each other. Management is direct and straight to the point, however does not offer a lot of positive or negative customer feedback throughout the work season. There is no going back and getting additional training.
During winter times, the work load can seem immense due to the weather conditions. As well as, that you are put on different routes every other day or week, so adaptability is definitely required.
