Comments:
Adecco sucks. They are great in California but are awful out here in New York. They angered the client and myself with all their hoops, their accounting department wired payment to the wrong account (nightmare) and they fought tooth and nail on reimbursement. It took 4 phone calls, three emails and a an in-person visit to even look over the benefits package they have.

I highly advise going somewhere else, where you will be treated with respect, dignity, and common courtesy. You should never let anyone make you feel bad for being a temp, especially whan that is the business they are in !!!

Some agencies with great reviews may be really bad, and some agencies with bad reviews may be really great. As with everything online, be careful and don't believe everything you read.
