Pros

One of the only reasons was the same level colleagues I got to work with each day in the corporate office. Although motivation and leadership was non-existent, the relationships created with my fellow colleagues were strong and kept me motivated during me tenure.

Cons

The management side of the organization is mediocre at best. Organizational wide goals are not communicated effectively or efficiently, leading to chaos and confusion. The wrong behavioral traits and attitudes are rewarded, resulting in resentment, disrespect, and mistrust in the lower levels of the organization. Corporate headquarters is segregated into the back-office functions in one location and all senior-level management and above in another downtown location. I've never seen such ignorance in the message that sends to all lower level employees - that their time and commutes are LESS IMPORTANT than executive level management. Adecco is now in the midst of declining sales, layoffs, and a bleak outlook from Wall Street and its own investors.
